Corn Hill, the City of Rochester’s oldest residential neighborhood. Most of Corn Hill’s homes were built between the 1830s and 1880s. Once known as the “Ruffled Shirt District,” Corn Hill was built up early and became known as urban and sophisticated. Those who made it big in flour milling, once Rochester’s chief industry, called Corn Hill their home. Elaborate houses stand next to cottages where the service workers lived. Service alleys are tucked behind some houses.

The neighborhood is well known for its annual arts festival and holiday tour.

The Corn Hill Preservation District was designated by the City of Rochester in 1977.
