Voters Block, at 431 West Main Street, is the original location of the barbershop where Susan B. Anthony and 15 women voted illegally in 1872. A Susan B. Anthony Memorial exists at the exact location. This site is of enormous significance to the city of Rochester and the civil rights movement. Voters Block is actively involved with the Susan B. Anthony Neighborhood Association and the surrounding neighborhood. The community center has been utilized by local groups such as Voters Walk, Spiritus Christi Church, and many other nonprofit organizations and neighborhood engagement events.
