The Greece Historical Society is taking its commitment to preserving local architectural history to a new level by delving into the life and legacy of Thomas W. Boyde Jr., a prolific architect who had an incredible impact on Rochester’s landscape from the 1930s through the 1970s. The initiative, called the Boyde Project, focuses on creating a thorough cultural resource survey, which is supported by grants provided by the Rochester Area Community Foundation, the Preservation League of New York State, and individual contributions. The project aims to uncover new facets of Boyde’s work and ensure his lasting impact on Rochester is both recognized and celebrated.
An unsung hero of mid-century modern design
Born on Christmas Day in 1905, Thomas Boyde made history as the first African American graduate of Syracuse University’s School of Architecture (1928) and as Rochester’s first African American architect. His versatile designs included private homes, public housing, commercial spaces, churches, and municipal buildings. Boyde’s architectural vision merged form with function, making high-quality design accessible to all. His work emphasized natural light, open layouts, and a seamless integration with the environment, creating spaces that were both practical and aesthetically striking for a range of community needs.
One of his early projects, completed in 1933, was Monroe Community Hospital. Known for its Gothic Revival architecture and intricate stonework, the building holds significant historical value and is considered a Rochester landmark. It is estimated that Boyde completed more than 700 projects in his lifetime, 300 of which are here in Rochester. His architecture embodied the beauty and ethos of mid-century design, but it was his contributions to economically disadvantaged communities that set him apart. He wasn’t just designing houses and businesses—he was creating homes and spaces that brought dignity, function, and style to underserved communities. Many of his projects provided affordable, well-designed housing solutions, reflecting his belief that great architecture should not be a privilege reserved for the wealthy.
Boyde is also recognized for his contribution to the genre of mid-century modern single-family homes, which showcased his distinct approach to functional yet stylish residential architecture.
Boyde’s attention to detail in material selection and his forward-thinking use of space made his homes both practical and aesthetically striking, reflecting the mid-century modern ethos of simplicity, innovation, and harmony with the surrounding environment.
A personal connection
Matt and Lia Kieren of Rochester own an original Boyde mid-century modern home. Lia was already familiar with Boyde’s work because her mother was an admirer of his designs. When she discovered that Boyde was the architect of the house she was considering purchasing, her interest was immediately piqued, and she felt both intrigued and excited at the prospect of owning a home designed by him.
“I never set out to buy a split-level house, but the flow of this floorplan is actually really great,” she says. “It has two large stone fireplaces and a curved wall, both signatures of Boyde’s. He was a very thoughtful designer. We have a gigantic yard, and the house is positioned intentionally on the lot to incorporate the best features of the outdoor space.”
“I love the history of this house and feel a strong responsibility to preserve and care for it,” she continues. “At the same time, it’s also my home—a place I truly enjoy living in. It brings me joy to balance the sense of stewardship with the comfort of everyday life here.”
The Boyde Project
The Greece Historical Society launched the Boyde Project to uncover, preserve, and bring long-overdue recognition to the architectural legacy of Thomas Boyde. People spearheading the project include Christopher Brandt, architect at Bero Architecture PLLC; Jeffrey A. “Free” Harris, independent historian and historic preservation consultant from Hampton, Virginia; Katie Eggers Comeau, former architectural historian at Bero Architecture PLLC; Gina M. DiBella, preservation consultant from Greece; Jenna Huizinga, Brighton Historian’s office intern and SUNY Geneseo student; and Alexis Rivers, research assistant.
With more than five decades of architectural work behind him, Boyde left an indelible mark on Rochester and the greater Western New York region. His designs have stood the test of time, speaking not only of an architectural era but of a man whose vision was ahead of his era. But despite his accomplishments, Boyde’s name is not as widely recognized as it should be—a gap that the Boyde Project seeks to address.
“We’re all passionate about preservation, and our main goal is to see these architectural works appreciated—that’s the first step toward ensuring their future,” says Comeau. “It’s especially important to address the historical underappreciation of Thomas Boyde’s contributions to Rochester’s architecture and history. While he’s often seen as a pioneer, the quality of his work isn’t always fully recognized. We’re working to correct some misconceptions and ensure Boyde receives the recognition he deserves as an outstanding architect.”
The group initiated a cultural resource survey that documents Boyde’s architectural contributions across Western New York. This survey not only catalogs his mid-century modern designs but also highlights his work on affordable housing projects for disadvantaged communities.“The detailed survey report will be designed in line with the State Historic Preservation Office guidelines,” says Comeau.
“This will serve as a template for property owners interested in pursuing National Register listing for their Boyde properties, simplifying the process for them by adapting our research. The report will offer an in-depth biography of Thomas Boyde, an evaluation of his work, and a comprehensive list of his buildings, with the potential for future publications or presentations.”
Through their research, the team has uncovered new materials, including drawings, correspondence, and interviews, which have expanded the scope of the project. Fundraising efforts are ongoing to incorporate these findings into the final documentation, ensuring that Boyde’s architectural impact is fully recognized and appreciated.
“It’s been exciting to dig through archives and piece together the projects Boyde worked on,” adds Brandt. “It feels a lot like detective work, uncovering hidden details and confirming his contributions to Rochester’s architectural history.”
Preserving a legacy
The Boyde Project is committed to ensuring that Thomas Boyde’s life and legacy are preserved and celebrated, bringing much-needed attention to his profound impact on Rochester’s architectural landscape. Without their dedication and passion, the full extent of Boyde’s work might have remained hidden. Their efforts continue to uncover new buildings and designs, deepening our understanding of his contributions. The project truly is a labor of love, one that will leave a lasting legacy for future generations of architecture enthusiasts to appreciate and learn from.

JANUARY/FEBRUARY
It may seem early, but it is time to get started with your gardening plan for 2025. Here are some simple tips to ready for the coming spring.
PLAN: If you don’t already have a journal dedicated to your garden this is a good time to get one. Cut out ideas and images from magazines (like UGJ!), brochures, and seed catalogs. Set aside a day or several to draw up plans for new plantings and garden layouts. It’s a great time to dream. Make some notes about what new flowers and vegetables you might like to start in the coming spring and create a list of seeds you like to order.
TOOLS: Even if you gave your tools a good cleaning and sharpening in the fall, it is a good time to recheck them for rust and sharpness. Take apart snipping tools with a screwdriver and clean the joints. Oil the blades and hinges.
SEED STARTING: A few seeds can be started inside in late winter. Some veggies and herbs, like broccoli, cabbage, parsley, rosemary, and several others can be started by the end of February. Your seed packets are your best guide.
MARCH/APRIL
TREE MAINTENANCE: Check for winter damage. If there are branches that need to be removed because of disease, clean your tool with rubbing alcohol between each cut. You can also start to prune trees, except for “bleeders” like maple and birch.
PRUNE SHRUBS: Shrubs that bloom on new wood, like roses, can be pruned back in early spring. Shrubs that bloom on old wood should be left alone until after they bloom. This includes spring bloomers like forsythia and lilac.
INSPECT SEED STARTING EQUIPMENT: Disinfect seed trays or buy new ones. After cleaning with soap and water spritz with hydrogen peroxide and let dry. Or you can use a very weak bleach solution(one part bleach to nine parts water).
START SEEDS: Check seeds packets for plants that can be started now and start seeds as instructed.
DIRECT SOW: Some veggies (beets, leeks, spinach, etc.) can be sown or planted outdoors in April or as soon as the ground is workable (a handful of dirt is crumbly and temperatures are in the fifties). Direct-seed cool-season vegetables such as carrots, beets, radishes, kale, and onions. Plant lettuce, kale, and collards in mid-April for a June harvest.
BIRD FEEDERS: Clean bird feeders of winter muck and buy new, high-quality seed and suet.
MAY/JUNE
HARDENING OFF: It’s time to harden off any seeds you started inside. Be patient and keep an eye on cold snaps and wind. Don’t get too eager to plant, though, as it is often best to wait until Memorial Day or when the soil is about fifty degrees to plant annuals and vegetables like tomatoes and peppers.
CHELSEA CHOP: In early May to early June, you can do the“Chelsea Chop.”* This satisfying deep trim of flowering perennials like sedum, hardy geraniums, phlox, and more will help those plants thrive and produce flowers. While you’re at it cut back to the ground one-third of the oldest stems of weigela, forsythias, and spiraea.*
The” Chelsea Chop” is so called because it is usually carried out at the end of May, coinciding with the Royal Chelsea Flower Show.
GENERAL GARDEN CARE CHECKLIST
JULY/AUGUST
TRIM AND PRUNE: Cut reblooming roses back slightly. You can also prune woody plants before autumn.
JOURNALING: This is a great time of year to sketch or photograph your garden for the journal you started back in January. Creating a map or saving labeled and dated photos with help you remember where you planted things next spring as well as consider what worked for and what didn’t. Make sure to take notes about how the weather affected your garden over the summer.
PREP FOR FALL: Order bulbs for fall planting to get the best selection of varieties.
FIRST HARVEST: Garlic is ready when the leaves are yellowing. Harvest beans, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, etc.so that plants continue to produce.
BIRD FEEDERS: Give your bird feeders and birdbaths a deep cleaning, so that birds will continue to visit your yard and stay healthy. If you are interested in birdwatching, make notes in your journal about what birds visited your garden this summer and what food or flowers they were attracted to.
SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER
It’s time to continue the harvest!
SHARING IS CARING: This is a great time of year to move, divide, and share perennials and any extra items from your harvest.
PLAN FOR WINTER INTEREST: Leave the seedheads of astilbe, black-eyed Susan, coneflower, daisy, sunflowers, etc. intact to provide food and shelter for birds and wildlife. Do not trim back the stalks of certain plants that overwinter better with the protection of the old stalks. This group includes mums, lavender, culinary sage, red hot poker, and milkweed. Leaving these intact also provide visual interest in your winter garden.
PRESERVING: Start canning, freezing, and drying herbs, fruits, veggies, and decorative flowers.
GENERAL PLANTING: Many perennials do well when planted in the fall, including hellebores, coral bells, hostas, and many more. Your local nursery can help guide you and often offer great deals in the fall.
September: Plant radish, kale, spinach, and lettuce. Evergreens, including conifers, should be planted by mid-September.
October: Plant lower bulbs like tulips and daffodils as well as corms such as crocus. Onions, garlic, cabbage, and carrots do well when planted in October.
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER
HARVEST WINTER VEGETABLES: Once we have experienced a few frosts—but before the ground freezes—turnips, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, and carrots can be harvested. Whatever you don’t harvest should be covered with straw to keep the ground around them from freezing.
FINAL PROTECTION: Add straw to the strawberry bed. Pine needle straw works very well if you have some handy. Tie down climbing rose canes to protect them from freezing winds.
