History

The High Falls Self Storage warehouse is listed as a City of Rochester designated landmark building. Built in 1830, originally on the Erie Canal, our warehouse was instrumental in creating America’s first “boom” city. With the creation of New York State’s Erie Canal, the city of Rochester became world renown for the export of flour. 

Our 90,000 square foot warehouse has been a storage facility for over 175 years. The building’s two foot medina stone façade and solid post and beam construction allowed for thousands of pounds storage material to be stored safe and secure. With close proximity to the canal, these materials were easily loaded and unloaded from canal barges and transported to far away lands.

In 1998 the building under went a historic renovation and is currently a storage facility. State of the art storage units and electrical alarms have been installed all the while keeping the original building intact. Please stop by our office and ask our staff for a personnel historical tour.
