Architectural rendering: Historic places, Rochester NY

Below are the examples of a project I worked on some years ago for my hometown newspaper in Rochester, NY. The idea was to simply pick a building that looked interesting, and then research the history: when it was built, by whom, was there an original purpose that hadn't carried over to the present incarnation, and did anything worthy of note happen there? Rochester is indeed filled with old buildings that date back to the early years of the the city's founding, so there were ample buildings to choose from. Some of the buildings, while not of themselves necessarily holding very much historic value or significance, served as touchstones for the sake of writing about various aspects of the city's history, its commerce, its geography, its customs, simply the charms of a bygone way-of-life. The project was almost completely my own from start to finish: I did the research (interviews with architects, developers, city historians), on-site drawing, the illustrations (rendered on computer), the writing of the accompanying stories, the maps, most of the photography and the page layouts. For the last 4 installments in the series (there were 7 in all) I also shot and edited the video and recorded the sound. This series went over very well with the readers and I received a fair amount of positive feedback and fan mail.
