Times Square Building

Times Square Building in Rochester is a landmark that reminisces a vast history attached to it. Formerly known as The Genesee Valley Trust Building, this art deco tower resembles the famous Empire State Building of New York. The foundation of the bank building was, interestingly and ironically, laid a day before the day of stock market crash of 1929 which lead to the Great Depression. Architect Ralph Thomas Walker was inspired by sea shells and incorporated a wing like structure on the top of the building. Known as "Wings of Progress", they are four aluminium wings protruding out of the roof of the tower.
