UPDATE: A new press conference has been scheduled for Thursday, 6/14 at 2:00 PM on the sidewalk outside of Parrot Hall. 

On Thursday, 6/14 at 2:00 PM, The Landmark Society of Western New York, the Preservation League of New York State, and key government officials are joining the Friends of Parrott Hall to host a press conference to announce the results of an engineering study on the building and to ask the State to delay demolition until alternatives have been meaningfully explored. Join us and show your support!

Parrott Hall was the first building in the city of Geneva listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1975 ownership was transferred to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) for the express purpose of creating a State Historic Site. The state is now planning to demolish the building but we believe there are other options to pursue and that the State should explore alternatives.

You can help!

Join us at the press conference

When: this Thursday, 6/14 at 2:00 PM

Location: In front of Parrott Hall (on the campus of Cornell’s Experiment Station, on W. North Street, immediately west of Hedrick Hall in Geneva, NY)

  1. Send me a PSA – Public Service Announcement – 30 or 60 seconds – I’ll put it on my Finger Lakes radio station. WYLF 850 AM . Maybe it can help gather support.
