Rochester

Rochester is located on the Genesee River, in New York State, and along Lake Ontario. It has a metropolitan population of 1.1 million but less than a quater of them are in the city proper.1

The tallest building is the 30 story Xerox Tower, built in 1968. The First Federal Plaza building (1976) has a saucer-shape on its top. The Times Square Building (1930) is yet more distinctive: capped by two 42 foot wings.2
