Central Troy Historic District
Central Troy Historic District, Historic district in downtown Troy, United States.
The Central Troy Historic District spans 96 acres and contains 700 properties displaying architectural designs from the early 19th through mid-20th centuries.
Two devastating fires in the 19th century led to reconstruction efforts that transformed the district with buildings constructed according to more stringent standards.
The district incorporates Washington Square, which follows the design principles of British residential squares, alongside a street layout inspired by Philadelphia's urban planning.
Recent restoration initiatives provide financial incentives to property owners who maintain historical characteristics while adapting buildings for contemporary purposes.
The district earned Troy the name 'Collar City' due to its central role in manufacturing detachable shirt collars, following Hannah Lord Montague's invention.
