Rochester's centennial observance, centered on its first courthouse, belongs to a wave of local anniversary celebrations that spread across American towns in the early twentieth century, when communities marked their founding with parades, pageants, and restored old buildings. The George Grantham Bain Collection came from the Bain News Service, which supplied newspapers and magazines with pictures of such events, and this glass negative was made with the bulky plate cameras news photographers relied on at the time. The title comes from data noted by the news service and has not been verified, so the exact date and occasion remain uncertain. The courthouse itself is the natural focal point, a reminder that civic buildings often anchored these commemorations.
