Notes:
The big Flood, St. Patrick's day 1865. The water filled the clothing store corner of Front St. forcing open the french doors and going out at back and taking a heavy iron sofa which was found weeks afterwards buried under stones and timbers blocks away. Azalia Green Weaver. Historical note: Flood of 1865. Rochester's Great Flood lasted from March 17-20, 1865. It was caused by a long period of cold weather and heavy snowfall followed by a sudden thaw accompanied by rain. The maximum rate of flow of the river in Rochester was estimated at 54,000 cubic feet per second. Damages were said to have exceeded one million dollars. The banks of both the river and the canal overflowed into the city. Small boats were used on some flooded streets. The flood began on a Friday and the river returned to its boundaries within the city on Monday morning. By then, the streets were finally bare.
