"Southwest Corner Main and Boone Streets (Contributing – 1) (Noncontributing – 2)
Spring Park commemorates Troy’s first settlement, Woods’ Fort. The park in its present form was created in 1918 and is a contributing resource. The site is a public park situated along the west side of Main Street at its intersection with Boone Street. Within the park are two log buildings constructed in 1976. The cabins are noncontributing because they were constructed after the period of significance. A round granite monument with a flat circular limestone base, erected in 1918, is located near the northeast corner of the parcel. A stone water fountain (c. 1935) is located at the western edge of the park. The site is surrounded by a public sidewalk at the east and north. The log buildings on the site have wooden shingled gabled roofs and exterior dovetail notched log walls. Both buildings face east toward Main Street. The south building is an outbuilding with a gable-front plan. The façade holds a single door of vertical board construction. Side (north and south) elevations have single sash windows. The residential style cabin is situated north of the outbuilding. The single pen cabin’s façade holds a central vertical board door with a small single-light window. Offsetting the entrance to the south is a six-light single-sash window. The north elevation has an exterior end limestone chimney. There is a single vertical wood door on the rear (west) elevation and a single window on the south elevation." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
