Print Title: Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me

This is an original print that I photographed. This highly detailed photo was taken at the Immaculate Conception/St. Bridget’s Church in the Lunsford Park section of the Corn Hill neighborhood in Rochester, NY.

History:

In 1847, Bishop Timon established the Immaculate Conception to serve the growing Catholic population of the poor Irish immigrants. The current church dates back to the late 1860′s.

Corn Hill, the Oldest Residential Neighborhood in Rochester, NY, is located on the banks of the Genesee River and a short stroll from the city’s vibrant business district. Once known as the Third Ward, Corn Hill is a showplace of historic architecture, manicured streets and inviting parks. Around 1812 this area was called Rochesterville; population three hundred.

Lunsford Park (home to the Corn Hill gazebo) was originally known as “Caledonia Square”, when laid out in 1837. The names of the streets off the circle, Edinburgh and Glasgow, reflected the interests of Scottish immigrants who settled in the “Caledonia Tract”, owned by John Greig in the 1830s. Clarissa Street, running north and south to the west in Corn Hill, was formerly named Caledonia Street, but renamed in 1844 as Clarissa Street, after Greig’s daughter, Clarissa.
Later the square was called “Plymouth Park” and was approached from the former Plymouth Avenue, which ran to the circle and continued south. This two-block-street began on Adams Street at the south end of Avery Mall (now Frederick Douglass Boulevard) and ended at the circle park.
