History
In 1905, after the disastrous 1904 "Sibley fire" gutted the Granite Building and much of Rochester's dry goods district, Sibley's moved to its final location, the Sibley Building at the northeast corner of East Main Street and Clinton Avenue. By 1939, Sibley's was the largest department store between New York City and Chicago. Sibley's was acquired by The May Department Stores Company and the Sibley Building location closed in the early 1990s
Current
The building is currently home to the Monroe Community College's city campus and is owned by Winn Development Co. The building is currently undergoing re-development into a multi-use building that will house business, retail and residential (both lofts and apartments) to be known as Sibley Square
