About the Neighborhood

At the center of the Susan B Anthony neighborhood is a beautifully preserved Victorian public square surrounded by period homes. In the square is a statue of the prominent American civil rights leader, Susan B Anthony, who once lived in this neighborhood, and fellow civil rights leader Frederick Douglass, also a Rochesterian. Susan B. Anthony's house stands today as a public museum. The world famous Nick Tahou's, home of the Garbage Plate, is in the gothic railroad station building, just down Main Street. If you are new to the area, expect to answer over and over whether or not you have eaten a Nick Tahou's Garbage Plate. At the Eastern end of the Susan B Anthony neighborhood, you'll find one of Rochester's original warehouse districts. During the Civil War many of the Union artillery pieces and carriages moved about on wheels made by Cunningham in these buildings. Though they were best known as America's preeminent carriage maker, they switched to automobiles and were in business until the Great Depression. Conveniently for renters, the neighborhood is in close proximity to Downtown Rochester.
