Community War Memorial Construction Photographs
Collection — Box 1
Identifier: 2024-006
Content Description
This collection consists of 63 black and white photographic prints depicting the construction of Rochester's Community War Memorial arena between 1951 and 1955. The photographs depict many elements of the project not typically seen, such as plumbing and HVAC installation. They were taken by Al Piccoli, a professional photographer, though it is unknown if he created them under contract or out of personal interest.
Dates:
1951-1955; the dates that Piccoli stamped on the backs of the photographs likely represent when they were printed, not when they were taken. It is known that certain images can only depict times earlier than the stamped dates.
