Henry Lomb Memorial, Rochester

Henry Lomb Memorial, Rochester

In the mid 19th century Henry Lomb loaned his friend John Bausch some money to help out the optical shop Bausch was operating in Rochester, NY. After a short time he became his business partner and together they formed the company Bausch & Lomb.

Lomb died in 1908 after serving the Rochester community as a public benefactor and in the 1930s a memorial was erected to his memory.

It was designed by Walter H Cassebeer from black ganite and stands 48 feet tall.
