NOTA area architecture also draws visitors to its streets. On East Boulevard, a prairie-style house by world-renown architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the E.E. Boynton House, still charms passersby.
ArtWalk-performanceThe most famous element of NOTA is the George Eastman House International Originally the home of the Eastman Kodak , the 1905 Colonial Revival mansion and its gardens welcome visitors from all over the world. George Eastman Museum, which opened in 1949, is one of the premier photography and film museums and archives in the world. It also includes the 535-seat historic Dryden Theater and world-leading training program for film and photograph conservation.
Just a short walk away from the Eastman Museum, Village Gate Square on North Goodman Street. Once including a Chiclets gum factory in the early 20th century, it went from eyesore to booming urban success story through the efforts of the late Gary Stern, a Rochester developer, who saw its potential and began its restoration in the late 1970s and was continuing its expansion right up to his passing in 2016.
Today Village Gate complex is an eclectic mixed-use development with loft apartments, cafes and restaurants, retail shops, offices, whimsical art, a cozy courtyard and much more. Among them are Wosa’s Braids and Nails and Get Caked bakery.
