Originally known as the Duffy-McInnerney Company, this was the second largest department store in the state. The building included a beautiful 800-seat restaurant on the 7th floor. It was also the first Rochester building to be electrified, using Edison light buibs.

The Duffy-Powers Building was formerly listed in the National Registry of Historic Places but was removed due to owner objection.
