. At 303 Genesee Street in Utica, NY stands the magnificent public library building. In the middle of bustling New York city traffic, this Utica Public Library provide a sweet little escape. It is our place to visit in 2009. The building just oozes history and its gorgeous architecture is second to none. It is over 100 year old. If maintained well enough, I am sure Utica Public Library will last us another hundred years.

History of Utica Public Library
The Utica public Library was built in the first decade of the 1900’s, and was last renovated in 1991. The property was given to the city by two of Utica’s most famous philanthropists, Thomas R. Proctor and Frederick T. Proctor. They were brothers who had married sisters from another wealthy Utica family. The home of Thomas Proctor and Maria Williams is across the street– it’s a living museum and we have visited it several times. It’s called Fountain Elms.
