They were built by the O'Kane brothers for their meat business, with apartments above. The O'Kane Market is a vernacular Italianate building and the O'Kane Building mixes Queen Anne, High Victorian Gothic and Romanesque Revival elements. The significance statement is truncated, so the full argument and criteria are not visible.","narrative":"Two brick buildings face each other at the corner of Bartlett and Reynolds Streets in Rochester's Eighth Ward, about 1.5 miles west of downtown. The O'Kane Market, built in 1878 at 104-106 Bartlett Street, is a two-story vernacular Italianate block with cast-iron and wooden storefronts. Its ground floor housed William and Bernard O'Kane's wholesale and retail meat business, and apartments occupied the upper floor. Local craftsmen did the masonry, carpentry and graining. Across the intersection, the O'Kane Building at 239-255 Reynolds Street, built in 1889-90, fills an entire city block. It combines Queen Anne, High Victorian Gothic and Romanesque Revival details, including a metal-sheathed corner turret, a pedimented bay and rock-faced stone arches. Both buildings combined shops with apartments and are the only surviving commercial structures in an area of wood-frame workers' houses. They have been altered and damaged by fires and leaking roofs, and the form lists them as vacant.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"William and Bernard O'Kane (builders/owners); masonry by F.
