Troy Savings Bank, Historic bank and concert hall in Troy, United States
Troy Savings Bank is a Second Empire-style building in downtown Troy, New York, featuring a granite exterior and a full concert hall on its upper floor. The ground floor retains its original banking spaces, while the hall above seats audiences for live performances.
The bank was founded in 1823 and moved into this building in 1875, designed by architect George B. Post. Post was one of the most sought-after architects in the country at the time, and the building was listed as a National Historic Landmark for its architectural value.
The concert hall on the upper floor is known among musicians and listeners for how naturally sound travels through the room, reaching every seat with clarity. The hall still hosts regular performances today, drawing audiences from across the region.
The building is on Second Street in downtown Troy and is easy to reach on foot from most central points in the city. Those planning to attend a performance should book tickets in advance, as the hall has a limited capacity.
The hall contains an 1890 Odell organ that is considered one of the few fully intact 19th-century concert organs still in the United States. The instrument is still played during performances today and is not simply kept as a display piece.
