Notes: Located at 111 East Avenue in Rochester, N.Y., the nine-story, 350-room Sagamore Hotel opened its doors in 1924. Designed by Gordon & Kaelber of Rochester, it was modeled after the Parc Lane Apartments in Chicago. It was headquarters of the Automobile Club of Rochester and the Rochester Council of Civic Clubs. In August of 1927, Stromberg-Carlson purchased station WHAM and moved operations to The Sagamore. The Roof Garden was popular for dinner and supper dancing.

In 1944, the hotel became a Sheraton Hotel; in 1954 it was known as the Sheraton Rochester; and by 1975 it was the One Eleven East Avenue Hotel. In 2011 it is known as 111 East Avenue Commons (rental apartments).
