Construction of the Power-House of the Rochester Power Company, Adjacent to Genesee Falls, Rochester, N. Y.
The development of the water-power of the Genesee River at Rochester, N. Y., has always been an important consideration to those interested in the city's manufacturing industries. Draining an extent of territory embracing about 2500 square miles and extending entirely across the State from north to south into the State of Pennsylvania, the river at times becomes a flood that pours over the Genesee Falls (immediately in the city) in a volume 293 ft. in width and from 5 to 6 ft. in depth, with a perpendicular fall of about 90 ft. From this fall the water follows the ravine a distance of about 1 mile and then by two lower falls it reaches the level of Lake Ontario. The total fall of the water within the city limits is 257 ft. By a series of dams the water is used over four times before it reaches lake level.
