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:

The apartment is a home away from home, the neighborhood is great as well, within walking distance to shop, bank and many restaurants. Ed and Tom were very nice and accommodating, I had a wonderful time there. Hope will come back again in the future. Thank you!

This was our first stay in an Airbnb and it was AWESOME! 100% better than any hotel we ever stayed in. Our Host was WONDERFUL and we were sad to leave at the end of our stay. Fresh flowers in the hallway was a nice touch. The entry was amazing as was our apartment and I better stop saying all these great things about this place because too many people will want to stay here and we won”t be able to get back in this awesome place. 🙂 Off street parking just one more great thing about this GEM.

We had a wonderful 2 week stay in a beautiful house. It had everything we needed to make us comfortable. It was in a great location in Rochester.
Ian and Joyce, from Great Britain
Ed & Tom are very nice and helpful friends (not just hosts). The house, neighbors, location, and everything else were great. I got this place for my parents for more than a month and they loved it. I 100% recommend their place for short and long stays. 
Behrooz, from Charlotte, NC
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.

Ed was just fantastic. Easy to message and get a quick response, Ed was able to provide extra amenities needed. Very comfortable bed. Very relaxed ambiance and a quiet road with easy access to great bars and restaurants. The apartment was very clean and easy to adjust temperature to get to desired range. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for both a short or long term stay. Thank you to Ed for all your hospitality we will be looking to use you again! 
Neville, from Rochester, NY
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

Karen and Roz, from New York, NY
Location is A++++! Close to breweries, coffee shops, the top restaurants in Rochester. They are so hospitable and the space is really beautiful. 
Erin, from Austin, TX
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
