Rochester, New York, in 1906 was a fast-growing manufacturing city of well over 150,000 people, and its factories had spread across the flats along the Genesee River and up the slopes beyond. The Gleason Works, which built machines for cutting gears, and the Taylor Instrument Companies, known for precision thermometers and gauges, drew skilled machinists from across the state and beyond. Streetcar lines carried workers from the neighborhoods to the mills and shops, and in summer the same lines took families north to the beaches and amusements at Ontario Beach on Lake Ontario. The view across the rooftops would have shown a city proud of its church spires, its bridges, and the steady smoke of its industry.
