Troy, NH - City and Town Halls on Waymarking.com

The town hall looks more like a NE church than a town hall, but this is NE. It is 3 story white, clapboarded building. The building appears to have greek architecture influences as demonstrated by the entranceway. It has a tall steelple like projection with a clock in the tower and cupola at the top.

Settled in 1762, by 1815 the community had grown so much that it sought its own incorporation. It was set off from Marlborough that year, and included parts of Fitzwilliam, Swanzey and Richmond. A prominent citizen and friend of Governor John Taylor Gilman, Captain Benjamin Mann of Mason, suggested the name Troy. His daughter, Betsy, was married to Samuel Wilson, famous as "Uncle Sam", and at that time a resident of Troy, New York. At least seven members of Wilson's family were living in the town at the time, thus securing the name. The town hall, built in 1813-1814 near the rail-fenced common, was originally the village meetinghouse.
