History

Edward G. Miner, who originally built the property in 1906 (designed by noted architect Claude Bragdon) was a successful businessman and philanthropist. He came to Rochester from Illinois to help his brother run a family business and transformed the Pfaudler Company into an international operation. His commitment to the Rochester community was evidenced in his early leadership as president of Rochester’s Chamber of Commerce, trustee of the University of Rochester for more than 40 years, chairman of the UofR’s Board of Trustees from 1938 to 1945, and in the legacy that is the Edward G. Miner Library at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What our previous residents wrote about their stay at 2 Argyle Street:

Ed and Tom’s place is a great place to stay in Rochester. It is a really pretty/unique historic mansion and is in a great part of town. Close to downtown and Park Ave shops/restaurants. Area felt safe and is in a great walkable neighborhood with lots of trees. Ed and Tom were very helpful and responsive to needs/requests. I would definitely stay with them again and recommend them to friends and family.

Ed and Tom are fantastic hosts and their mansion is a beautiful place to stay at a great value. I chose this booking as an alternative to the Strathallan Hotel and was not disappointed in the least. They are incredibly attentive and accommodating. They worked with me as plans on my end changed with little notice. Ed and Tom were also very understanding when we accidentally caused them a major inconvenience, which is a rare find. The apartment is striking and well-furnished. The entire mansion is clean, quiet, and classy. The location is very convenient even for visitors without vehicles and if you do have a car, the parking situation is one of the best I’ve seen on AirBnB. I highly recommend this apartment or any accommodations offered by Ed and Tom. I will be booking with them in the future whenever possible.

I had a wonderful stay at Ed and Tom’s lovely apartment in Rochester! They were excellent hosts and met me prior to moving in to give me a virtual tour of the apartment and answer any questions. They were attentive, respectful, and always available to communicate via text or phone. The apartment itself is beautiful, safe, and in immaculate condition. When I arrived it had clearly just been professionally cleaned and I never had any issues with anything. The other tenants in the building were very quiet, polite, and friendly. Off-street parking was extremely convenient, and the laundry units in the basement were new, efficient, and extremely clean. I have no complaints and would not hesitate to stay here again! Thanks Ed & Tom!

This is a great and extremely quiet space in a beautiful mansion. So much is within walking distance & there is off street parking which is a huge plus in the city. It is a bit of a haul up 3 flights of stairs (especially with groceries) but you’ll quickly get used to it & the stairs are wide. I appreciated the super friendly communication & assistance. Highly recommend this space & hosts!
Tricia, from Texas
Ed and Tom are terrific, and the apartment and the building are wonderful – full of character, in a great location between East and Park Ave., clean, safe, with off-street parking. The building, a converted mansion, has an historical designation and is full of period details. It’s a marvelous area for walking and running, adjacent to the mansions of East Ave. There is a coin-operated washer-dryer. The restaurants and shops of Park Ave. are a block away.

Ed and Tom have a wonderful house on Argyle Street. I stayed in one of their apartments for an extended business trip to Rochester (six weeks). It is conveniently located within walking distance of Park Avenue shops and restaurants. There is a Wegmans not too far away. Downtown Rochester is within reach and I-590/I-490 is easily accessible. Ed and Tom picked me up at the airport, had WiFi installed and made me very welcome. They made sure that everything was in order and checked multiple times if there was anything I might need. Great place to stay when you are in Rochester (or anywhere between Niagara Falls and the Finger Lakes area). Kai

You will be hard pressed to find a nicer couple! Tom and Ed were friendly, professional, and responsive. They care deeply for their home and their tenants.

I stayed in Apt 2 for 5.5 weeks during a rotation that I had in the area. The space was very clean and Ed and Tom were extremely welcoming. The apt is as pictured and is in a safe neighborhood. I highly recommend checking out Park Ave for dinner which is a short walk from the apartment. I enjoyed staying here and would absolutely recommend it to others!
Julia
Ed and Tom were great! They were very welcoming and were extremely accommodating. They even brought me an extra table lamp, because I mentioned that I would be doing a lot of work for my new job. Ed and Tom were also very responsive to my requests throughout my stay. I really couldn’t have had a better experience! The apartment is great- very clean and it includes almost everything you would need (e.g. kitchen utensils, cooking supplies, even measuring cups) plus all the amenities they mention in their listing. Very quiet building. I rarely ever saw any of the other tenants, but when I did, they were very kind and courteous. The neighborhood is great- probably the best area in Rochester. Within walking distance to bakeries, restaurants, and bars.

2 Argyle Street was so much more than an apartment to me; it was home, thanks to Tom and Ed and their tireless commitment to maintaining every nuance of the property.  The apartment itself was in great condition and the common areas were immaculate.  There was a great sense of community among tenants, yet people respected one another’s privacy.  Problems that arose with appliances or anything for that matter, were taken care of immediately.  Thank you, Tom & Ed, for sharing your beautiful home with me – I carry nothing but happy memories of my years living at 2 Argyle Street!
