I want to do a 104 trip this year - in Lockport there is a lock tour cruise I want to go on, you get to experience the water elevators (I don't know the correct term) and then I want to continue on 104 to Lewiston. I will look for the stone houses along the drive!

If you do make is out to Lewiston I would recommend stopping for lunch and ice cream at The Silo and trying their famous Haystack sandwich. Located right on the Niagara River and open seasonally from May-Sept.

On your trip, if you pass through the town of Clarkson, (rt 104 &19), on the north side of the road, west of the intersection, in one of the brick houses, lived George Selden, who in 1909 lost a patent battle with Henry Ford for the automobile. Who knows if that would have changed Rochester's course. Like many cities, Rochester had car manufacturers, like the Cunningham Coach company

^ That must be who Selden St is named after? (beautiful street in the Grove Place neighborhood near Eastman School of Music.)

Thanks for posting this, I had no idea! I've literally driven past there hundreds of time and have never noticed.
