Take a Tour of our
Firehouse Craft Gallery!

We are very proud to have been repeatedly voted one of the Top 10 Craft-Galleries in the USA
by Niche Magazine.

The upstairs front room, which is now our fine jewelry and collector craft-gallery, was once the firemen's living room. Be sure you look up to the cupola to see the old photos of what our firehouse looked like in the early 1900's. In the photo over the front windows you will see “Chubby” (click to learn more about Chubby) Rochester’s most famous fire horse pictured in our driveway with a fireman of the era. Chubby and his fireman are now immortalized in a life size sculpture by local artist Vincent Massaro that stands in front of Craft Company No.6.
 

Our fine jewelry collection includes handmade jewelry of the best quality from leading American jewelry designers working in gold, platinum and fine silver. Earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings and wedding bands shine with creativity. We have received a great deal of praise about what a pleasant experience it is to purchase fine jewelry from our friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Be sure you visit our funky bathroom with purple, yellow and green walls, even if you don’t need to. It’s filled with interesting soaps and accessories.

In our upstairs center room, you will find pottery creatively displayed in the lockers where firemen once hung their uniforms. You’ll also find some interesting cookbooks and wooden cutting boards. An old wood and coal burning stove is another display prop that attracts much attention. Chip 'n dip servers are our most popular pottery item and we have a large selection from a variety of artists.

Connected to our pottery craft-gallery are our kids and pets craft-galleries, which are filled with creative gifts for those four-legged creatures we so adore. If you’re lucky you’ll encounter one of our five dogs, Margie a Jack Russell and Corgi mix, Basset Hounds - Buddy Ray, Bob or Dixie Belle and our newest addition Ernie another Jack Russell.  They frequent this room in hopes of getting an animal loving customer to hand over one of the treats high on the shelves above their reach.

We've saved the best for last…our Hayloft craft-gallery is at the end of our maze and the most spectacular of all. This is where hay to feed the horses like “Chubby,” that pulled the Victorian era fire engines, was once stored. In more recent years the hayloft served as Lynn and Gary's bedroom. In this room you will usually find some spectacular Sticks™ furniture pieces such as a bed and dresser, dining set, love seat, coffee table, etc. Woodworker and owner Gary Stam is responsible for the exceptionally fine woodworking in this room.

That concludes the tour of our craft-gallery. On your way out be sure to take a few minutes to enjoy the gardens in front of Craft Company No.6 and the houses on either side. Lynn and Gary, after being pushed out of the firehouse, now live in the house to the left.

Notice the spectacular wide sidewalks in front of our houses. This is ARTWalk, a permanent urban art trail, connecting the arts centers and public spaces within the Neighborhood of the Arts (NOTA). ARTWalk is an interactive outdoor museum, located on University Avenue between the Memorial Art Gallery and the George Eastman House. Happy walking!
