Resbaz (foreword) Title: The Story of Sixty Years: 1858-1918 Livingston Park Seminary, Rochester NY Publication: [Rochester, NY]: Privately published, [1918] Edition: Edition not stated Description: Octavo (19.5cm); one quarter dark brown cloth, with lighter brown paper sides, stamped in gilt; 6-76pp, frontis., 3 plates. Spine cocked; boards gently scuffed and bumped, with mild soiling and wear. Textblock slightly toned; spot of soiling on plate adjacent to pg. 50; errata slip tipped-in after pg. 76. Overall Very Good. Livingston Park Seminary was a rather fashionable private boarding/day school for girls, in operation from 1858 to about 1935. This small anniversary book details the history of its founding, as well as what school days were like for staff and the young ladies who attended classes (past and present). Also includes b/w photo-illustrated plates of principals Mrs. Cathro M. Curtis, Georgia C. Stone, and Eurith T. Rebasz. Curiously omits an 1895 incident when an ongoing rivalry between the junior and senior classes erupted into a bench-clearing brawl in the school chapel. As for the school building itself-a grand old postcolonial manor with some motley "additions"-it was later restored and relocated to the Genesee Country Village & Museum.
