"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
