Built in 1826, this building was the home of Selye Fire Engine Company, which built Rochester's first fire engines and supplied other cities across New York State.

208 Mill Street best illustrates construction in Browns Race in its initial days. The lower two floors are coursed stone rubble while the upper two stories are random ashlar stone. Loading doors are evident on each floor along with a hoist and pulley and iron tie rods.
