Built in 1873, the building of the former Troy Gas Light Company is one of the few remaining examples of a type common in Northeastern urban areas. Originally sheltering an iron holder for coal gas, the brick gasholder house is an imposing structure from a significant period in the history of Troy. The handsome brick exterior reflects the standing of the company that for twenty-seven years held a monopoly on the manufacture of illuminating gas in the city. (Source NRHP Application)
