NEB&W Guide to Troy, NY - Behind The Depot (Union Street Between Fulton & Broadway)

Last Update: 2009-02-20

• Union Street (so named because it ran in front of the Union Station) mostly had the backs and carriage houses of the fashionable row houses that faced Fifth Avenue. On the north end was buildings that were part of the Gurley Complex.

• The north end contained a long Norman Romanesque brick structure, probably built right after the Great Fire of 1862.
  • [Back in 1895, this was a separate business, Wood & Lewis, another collar maker.]
  • [View from 8th St. c. 1972.]

• The building next to this was probably built in the 1890's, a type of Richardson Romanesque. This, too, became part of the Gurley complex.
