The glass and concrete structure houses an internal street, a park, an authentic 1950’s stainless steel diner, a three story brick tenement building, and a carousel creating a nostalgic 1950’s environment, a central theme of the museum.

The windows of the tenement building are equipped with electrical outlets tied to a computer system allowing each window to become a living exhibit in itself.

The 50-foot high structure angles dramatically towards the city center and affords the visitors a superb view of the Rochester skyline.
