Notes | ( In the late 1880s, Jones Square was being "shunned by all timid persons" because it was so dark at night, so the Common Council ordered electric lights for it. Gives history of Rochester's early parks, its park squares, in the nineteenth century. The city's system of larger parks dates from 1888, thus changing the role of the smaller park squares.) |
