"409 Main Street (Contributing)
Troy’s I.O.O.F. Lodge at 409 Main Street was constructed in 1892 for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, organized in Troy in 1853. The second floor was used for lodge meetings and the lower level was used for businesses. Troy Lodge is a two-story commercial brick building with a flat roof and a granite and limestone foundation. The property’s nineteenth-century detailing includes arched double-hung windows (upper floor), a sawtooth brick pattern above windows and ornate cast iron window hoods. In 1925, the building was altered when a rear one-story wing was enlarged as two stories in height. Also at that time, the primary (east elevation) storefront was remodeled with the addition of exterior glazed brick pilasters, marbled Carrara glass (below commercial windows) and a continuous band of glass blocks above the facade’s first-story windows and doors. The building has two storefronts on the east elevation. The north storefront has a flush entrance with a pediment above the door, sidelights and a transom. The south storefront holds a recessed entry. Both entries support single-light commercial style doors. The entrances are offset by large fixed commercial style windows. The façade bears an upper level date/name stone (“Troy Lodge No. 68, I.O.O.F.”). The false front that extends above the roofline is capped with terra cotta coping." ~ NRHP Nomination From
