City - Rochester NY - National Theatre 1908 Jigsaw Puzzle
Colourized photo from 1908
Original Title: Main Street, Rochester, NY
Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: 75 W. Main St, Rochester, NY
This is Main Street in Rochester, NY in 1908. Surprisingly a lot of it is still intact, or at least lasted a good long while. On the right corner, that was the Rochester hotel, built 1907 and demolished in 1999, it had 300 rooms and was $1.50 a night.
The National Theatre opened on Dec 22 1902, and it changed names about 6 times over the years and was finally demolished in 1980.
The next building with the odd curved roof, is the Rochester savings bank, built in 1844. It was described as a "fancy wedding cake", located on the SW corner of West Main & Fitzhugh streets. The all cement building is the Monroe County building and its still there today. The red one next to that is the Union Trust building, also still standing.
Also still standing is that fancy building right behind the theatre, you can barely see it in this but today you can see all of it as there no buildings obstructing the view. If you look very carefully you'll see a soda bottle on a ledge on the hotel on the right.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

I like puzzles but can't commit to thousands of pieces. I chose this one in 110 pieces because I wanted a challenge that could be completed in a few hours. This one took approx 3.5 hours to complete. The image is pretty uniform throughout so may seem daunting but some of the jigsaw pieces are quite unique which helps. You definitely need a good eye for detail and this puzzle is challenging and engaging giving the satisfaction of completion after a relatively short commitment of time.
I do not like thousands of pieces because I don't have the time or motivation to keep going back to a puzzle which needs to be stored and moved and this can result in a loss of pieces.
The box the puzzle is supplied in is good quality and will store the puzzle safely for a long time. The box also fits on one of my small bookcase so storage is very easy. The puzzle print is slightly smaller than the image on the box and this makes orientation of the puzzle harder. The image is of really good quality though and I'm happy with the quality of this aspect.

I bought this image in 110 pieces because I like puzzles I can complete in a few hours. This one took me about 1.5 hours. It was surprisingly challenging in that in the nebular section of the image the pieces were difficult to orientate. It was difficult to gauge which pieces were right without trying them and sometimes I thought certain pieces wouldn't fit and they did. It must be the way the image is made up that it tricks the eye. I definitely found it harder than I thought it would be so yes it's a challenge.
As always very good quality puzzle in a very durable box that stores really well on my small bookcase. The image was well orientated on the puzzle so I would say the printer got this one pretty bang on. Very good quality image.
