Eastman Dental Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eastman Dental Center, founded in 1915, along with the Eastman Department of Dentistry, is a unit of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, serving as the University of Rochester's primary dental care and education facility. The facilities are located within the Eastman Dental Center building and the University of Rochester Medical Center complex. The center was endowed by George Eastman as a separate entity from the University of Rochester. Eastman Dental Center merged as part of URMC in 1997. The former location of the Dental Center was located at 800 East Main Street. This formerly splendid building which once housed the Dental Center building has gone vacant and unnoccupied for many years and has thus fallen into major disrepair. While the building had been slated for demolition by its current owner, only an existing local landmark designation with the City of Rochester saved the building from imminent destruction. The building continues to be on a "threatened" list of significant local landmark structures which may soon have to be demolished of necessity - or through a natural causality - because of a prolonged period of extreme neglect and disrepair.^[1]
