This building was first constructed in 1941 for the F.W. Woolworth Company – the 42nd store of its kind in the country. The company had already operated in Syracuse for several decades and moved a few times – including demolishing a former location at this site to build a new structure. Woolworths occupied the entire building. The first floor and basement consisted of their cafeteria and retail area.

I recently had a tour inside the iconic Niagara Mohawk Building - probably Syracuse’s most famous structure. The building opened in 1932 and at that time was headquarters for the Niagara Hudson Power Corporation. It was designed by Syracuse-based architects Melvin L. King and Bley & Lyman of Buffalo. After a series of utility mergers, the company became Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, and later @nationalgrid, which still occupies the building today. There are several posts I wish to do in rega

This is the former Syracuse Lighting Company — a predecessor to Niagara Mohawk. Located on Genant Drive, it helped electrify parts of the city from 1895 to 1915. Niagara Mohawk later took over the site, and when National Grid acquired them in 2002, the building was sold to a local developer for $400,000. It’s been vacant ever since, caught in limbo as the future of I-81 was debated. But now, with the community grid moving forward, redevelopment is underway. Thanks to our friends at @in_architect

229 Wolf Street. This tour was led and made possible by Jim Ennis. The Syracuse & Onondaga County Fire Museum is inside the old Station 4, built in 1871 and expanded in 1911. The fire station closed in 1976, later became home to PEACE, and was eventually bought by Gary Thurston, who donated the building to make the museum possible. The collection has been growing for years, run by a dedicated board. They’re open by appointment only, with plans for regular hours in the future. More to come on thi
