War Store
Rochester, NY

After spotting this location from the road, we decided to check it out. Once we got inside, we saw random machine parts from wall to wall. Apparently it was some kind of store with an old cash register and all. Strangely enough, there was an entire non-articulated flatbed truck right inside. There were a few cool things on the lower level like a rusted bomb, and various machines. Moving up to the second level, we find a hugh number of small parts and light bulbs that were involved in the war effort of WWII. Boxes bearing company names like Curtiss-Wright, Kodak, and General Electric all held once-important devices and documents. Now it's a WWII buff's rummage playground. Going up another level, we find a hayloft with thousands or more small boxes with brand-new sealed items labelled for the B29 bomber aircraft. Among other things were PAR-56 lamps, smaller bulbs, ring and bead gunsights, lenses, filters, and small engines. Back on the ground level out back, we found sighting equipment that were probably used by bombardiers in bombers. These optical devices were built by Rochester-based General Railway and Signal Company that diverted their rail signal manufacturing power to aid in the war effort.
