"621 Main Street (Contributing)
Located at 621 Main Street is the Troy Marble & Granite Company, constructed in 1919 by Oscar Allison. The property is a one-story brick building with a flat/gabled roof and a concrete foundation. The façade (east elevation) holds two entrances – one that is centered and recessed with paired single-light doors; the other situated at the northeast corner. This latter entry is also recessed and holds a single-light door. A single marble column with a Corinthian capital supports the umbrage style corner porch, which is flanked by engaged limestone pilasters on either side of the bay. The column rests on a date stone bearing an imprint of “1905” – the date of the business’s establishment (not the building’s construction). The east end of the façade holds commercial style windows of two over one design. Some windows on the side (north and south) elevations are replacement one-over-one design. The rear linear wing at the west end of the building has original six-over-six windows. The rear ell also holds a small shed projection and an enclosed garage bay with a two-light modern window. The west end of the rear wing is enclosed with synthetic materials. The south elevation of the enclosed wing holds four modern doublehung windows." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
