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 are super hosts. Great location. 
Dave & Sue, from The Villages, FL & Rochester, NY
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!

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!

We’ve been living in this flat all September and felt incredibly comfortable. The apartment is very large, each room is bright and spacious, has pleasant scenery . the decoration is artistic and the maintenance is very good, Anna had carefully cleaned before moving in, everything is perfect. The surrounding environment is very good, with safe communities, friendly neighbors, and many popular restaurants nearby. Commercial facilities are also very complete. There is a food supermarket with a variety of products within 5 minutes’ walk, a large supermarket with 3 minutes’ drive or 20 minutes’ walk. Ed & Tom are perfect landlord, nice, friendly, patient and careful! The apartment has complete facilities, they also provide a lot of daily necessities, and they give us a lot of help enthusiastically, so that we have a warm home in a foreign country, very touched! Thanks ED & TOM for everything! We hope could book ED & TOM’s apartment in the future!

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
A neat, clean, and historical apartment with everything you will need. Ed and Tom are very nice! The staying is very pleasant. We are looking forward to come back again in the future.

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

We stayed at Ed & Tom’s cozy, comfortable lovely and very clean home for a month and the only negative part was leaving! They were ready to offer whatever we needed in the most genuinely caring and responsive way, yet always remained thoughtfully unobtrusive and professional. The rave reviews we provided were well deserved and we highly recommend Ed & Tom as the most gracious and efficient hosts in a home that is warm and welcoming…Thank you!
Gail and Jon, from California & Rochester, NY
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.

It was just a wonderful Airbnb experience. Ed and Tom are really nice and they walked us through all the details in the apartment. They were always there to answer our questions and help us. My mom and I had a really good time in there. Super nice neighborhood, always quite and beautiful. Lots of nice restaurants and shops. We just fell in love with everything.
