The Carousel at Seneca Park (often referred to as the "Long Carousel No.7") was designed and created by George Long Sr. in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. It was constructed and brought to Rochester, New York, USA in 1904 where it operated at Seabreeze Amusement Park until the end of the 1925 Season. At that time, it was moved to nearby Seneca Park (a city owned park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted) and Seneca Park's Philadelphia Toboggan Company Carousel No. 36 was moved to Seabreeze to take its place. The Long carousel at Seneca Park operated until it was destroyed by fire in 1948.[1][2]
