context_page_description: Sibley's, Lindsay and Curr Building is a historic commercial building located at Rochester in Monroe County, New York. It was designed by noted Rochester architect J. Foster Warner and built for Sibley's in 1904. The original wing of the building was constructed in 1906 as a five-story, Chicago school style skeletal steel building sheathed in brown Roman brick with deeply set Chicago style windows, topped by a clock tower with Baroque and Renaissance style details. Additions were made to the building in 1911 and 1924, including a 12-story tower section.
  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
context_section_description: In 1905, after the disastrous 1904 "Sibley fire" gutted the Granite Building and much of Rochester's dry goods district, Sibley's moved to its final location, the Sibley Building at the northeast corner of East Main Street and Clinton Avenue.  By 1939, Sibley's was the largest department store between New York City and Chicago.Sibley's was acquired by The May Department Stores Company and the Sibley Building location closed in the early 1990s.
  See Sibley's for more information on the history of Sibley's Department Stores.
