    I don't suppose many people had a camera to take photos like this back in 1910. Was B&H open yet? ;)

    Wow ... so nearby. Chances are this spot is now a shopping plaza, or part of Xerox.
  • Jim Rees said:
    Geneva had devastating tornadoes in 1955 and 1983, but the glass plate makes me think this was earlier than either.

    It was about 1910. You will see by the clothes that it was not 1955 or 1983 when you look at the photo next to it.

Cow barn blown down, Geneva, N.Y., cyclone (LOC)

    Alas, Dan Fink, the author of "Barns of the Genesee County" is dead...but I'd bet the LOC has one somewhere.

    From www.genevany.org/50/ '1912 Cyclone hit SW edge of Geneva on September 1; razed huge barns on White Springs Farm. ' And from www.belhurstcastle.com/whitehistory.html 'Sunday, September 1, 1912, was a day of disaster for White Springs Farm and the immediate vicinity. A cyclone wrought havoc, leveling the main group of dairy barns and uprooting most of the beautiful elms on the farm. A three-quarter ton dinner bell from one of the barns was found a half-mile away. Miraculously, there was no loss of human life, though four or five calves were killed. Clean-up operations were extensive, and tree experts were brought in to salvage what trees could be saved. Mr. Lewis sold the Guernseys, rather than replace the barns. By 1920 the cattle business was over.' Since then, the farm has apparently been a poultry farm, an orchard, a home for the elderly, and is now a hotel and winery.
