Browncroft Historic District
Browncroft Historic District, Historic residential district in Rochester, United States.
The Browncroft Historic District spans 116 acres and contains 518 buildings, featuring Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and Prairie Style architecture throughout the neighborhood.
Charles J. Brown, former president of the National Nurserymen's Association, developed this residential area between 1914 and World War II with spacious lots and winding streets.
The neighborhood displays a collection of middle and upper-middle-class homes that reflect the early 20th-century transition from urban to suburban living patterns.
The district extends from Browncroft Boulevard to Blossom Road and from Newcastle Road to Winton Road, with underground utility infrastructure enhancing the street views.
Original wrought iron street signposts remain at Ramsey Park and Corwin Road intersection, while 273 Dorchester Road incorporates columns from the initial nursery office.
