"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
