    • Syracuse University is a major employer in the city. Its place on 'The Hill" dates back to its founding in 1870. This old picture shows some of the buildings that remain today including the Crouse Music College on the right and the old Hall of Languages!

    • The 75 year old State Tower Building has only 23 floors, but remains the tallest building in Syracuse. When I was growing up it was the ONLY tall building in the city. But it is good to see that it is surviving, while Hotel Syracuse is not:(

    • This brooding picture of the OCSB Building belies its current appearance. My father's office was in this building until they built what we referred to as "the egg crate" next door. Needless to say we had our savings accounts here:)))

    • This is one of the oldest parks in Syracuse, dating from the 1820s. It was renamed to Fayette Firefighters Memorial Park in 1972. It includes a number of monuments, including the Philip Eckel Monument, to a former fire chief, and the Hamilton White Monument.

     Lovely Syracuse page, Sal! So sad to hear about the Hotel Syracuse. I hate it when historical places are shut down. ~I’m a SUCKER for popovers! And your photos are beautiful! ~We, too, had the Erie Canal running thru Ohio thru Cincy to the Ohio River.    		807Wheaton Thu Aug 18, 2005 12:51 UTC
     These are great pages. Genealogy will bring me to Syracuse next summer. As a vacationer I want to see Skaneateles and Cazenovia. And the Erie Canal! Marcia

     Wonderful page, Sally! Thanks for sharing!    		matcrazy1 Mon Nov 29, 2004 21:55 UTC
     When I think of Syracuse I think, in contrast to Scott (herzog63) of sun, warm weather and... Sicily, Italy. Very good page and updates!
