The plant on Dewey Avenue in the Town of Greece was an indoor shipyard built in an orchard.

The Odenbach name is synonymous with entrepreneurship in Rochester. Follow family members from their start in the hotel and liquor business into quarries, shipbuilding and golf courses. Find out about the Greece Historical Society’s efforts to preserve the legacy of the family. Author: Marie V. Poinan Publisher: the Greece Historical Society
