Originally built in the Civil War period as a church, the building was later purchased by Nathaniel Powers and converted into a concert hall and theater. It was frequently used by local groups for amateur theatricals. Here it was that Eva Tanguay of Cohoes, who later became noted as a singer and vaudeville performer made her debut. In its later days the theater was devoted solely to the showing of motion pictures. For a time it was conducted under the auspices of F. F. Proctor. This picture shows how the old “opera house” looked on the morning of March 25, 1917 after fire had written the finish of the structure as a playhouse. Times Record [Troy, NY].

Photo shows a group of youngsters enjoying one of two newly completed “Magic Squares”. This one is at 112th Street Playground. The other is at Fourth and Monroe Streets. Squares can be used as ice skating rinks in winter and basketball courts in summer. They are part of a $34,600 renovation program at the two sites. Squares were completed at costs of $8,000 at 112th Street and $4,000 at Fourth and Monroe Streets. Times Record. January 11, 1973: 18 cols 1-4.

In 1834 a disastrous fire destroyed Van Buskirk’s Hotel, the first inn on the site. The construction of the present brick hotel was begun almost immediately by Esek Hawkins. The Phoenix continued the long tradition of its predecessor as a center of the social, political and commercial life of Lansingburgh. In December [sic], 1857, the hotel was damaged by another serious fire. However, it was rebuilt by April [sic?] of the following year by Benjamin Peets, the proprietor. An addition to the hotel was constructed along 116th Street in 1864 by Zebina E. Fobes of Troy, whose firm, Fobes & Co., was listed as architects and contractors. Over the years, the Phoenix has hosted many famous people, including Henry Clay. Today the Phoenix is one of Lansingburgh’s most venerable landmarks. Because of its close connection with the development of the community, much of the social and political history of Lansingburgh is reflected in the bricks and timbers of the Phoenix Hotel.

P. Pine Co. Second Avenue between 120th and 121st Streets One of the world’s largest shirt and collar shops, the Lion factory was constructed in several stages between 1884 and 1897 by James K. P. Pine, an outstanding figure in Troy’s collar industry. Pine began in 1862 as a partner in the firm of Cole, Dyer and Pine and was subsequently a partner in several firms before 1880 when he founded the James K. P. Pine Company. In 1890, he consolidated five firms to form the United Shirt and Collar Company, which operated until 1922, three years after his death. The Lion factory is five stories in height and occupies an entire city block. It is still used for manufacturing purposes. Waite, John G. The Architecture of Lansingburgh, New York.

It was purchased by Mrs. Deborah Powers in 1847 from John and Ann Holme who had acquired it from members of the Van Schaick family. The original section of the house consisted of the three south bays of the main facade. After Mrs. Powers purchased the property, she had the northern two bays added, thus forming a building with a symmetrical facade. Mrs. Powers operated the oilcloth manufacturing firm of D. Powers and Sons, the largest in Lansingburgh, as well as the Bank of D. Powers and Sons. Her philanthropic activities in the village included Powers Park, the Powers Home for Aged Ladies and the Powers School. This house served as her office and residence until her death in 1891. The property remained in the Powers family until the present owner acquired it in 1937. The house appears much as it did when Mrs. Powers owned it. It is sited on an extensive lot overlooking the Hudson River on the west and Powers Park on the east. Waite, John G. The Architecture of Lansingburgh, New York.

The present building was constructed at least two decades later. It was associated with a number of prominent Lansingburgh businessmen during its early history. Prior to 1834, the house was owned by Elisha Sanders, a merchant. From 1834 to 1839, it was owned by Oscard F. D. and Chauncey P. Ives, members of an important Lansingburgh family. Oscar Ives was a lawyer who owned a “line of Boats” between Lansingburgh and New York City. From 1842 to 1854 the property was owned by John S. Fake. In 1854 it was purchased by Edward Tracy, who owned a brewery as well as a number of malt houses along First Avenue. Tracy’s brewery was one of the largest in the area. The older section of the house retains many of its original exterior architectural elements including the two dormers, entrance stoop with iron railings, the Greek revival paneled window and door labels. The addition to the north was built during the late nineteenth century in a style which reflected the earlier building. A heavy bracketed cornice was added to both buildings at that time to connect them visually. Waite, John G. The Architecture of Lansingburgh, New York.

Have you ever wondered what the large stone structure is in the Hudson River? It’s located around the 123rd Street area and not too far from the Lansingburgh/Waterford bridge. The stone structure is a water pump. It was used to pump water all the way up to the hill side, opposite the river, in Lansingburgh. When the water reached the top it would rush back down to the river. On the way, it would give water pressure to the residents. The vacant lot on 123rd Street once held a public bath house. This was torn down, but the pipes are still underground.

The vicinity of the boat club dock at the foot of Glen Avenue most any pleasant morning these summer days looks like a small section of the seashore, due to the popularity of the swimming class for girls started last season by Edward Phillips, the club steward. The class was formed in the spring of 1910 with the idea that it is quite as necessary that women know how to swim as men, although usually in in land cities they have little opportunity. The class now has forty–two young women and girls who meet in the clubhouse every morning at 5:30 o’clock and are taken by motorboat to shallow water in the Mohawk, where swimming instruction is given. As soon as the beginner is able to take twenty strokes she is ready for the deeper water at the Laureate Club float. The class returns to the float at 7:30 o’clock, and those who have progressed far enough spend a half hour in diving and swimming from the float. New additions are being made to the class daily, and some of them learn to swim very quickly, notably among them being a ten-year-old girl, who learned to swim in a week. Some characteristic snapshots are here shown, the first picture being a group of the class with the instructor Louise Young, Water Woods, Miss Helen Farrell, Clarences Eckes, Vincent Phillips, Miss Frances Spenard, Miss Millie Spenard; middle row—Miss Smith, Miss Lillie Chicoine, Miss Bessie Young Miss Millie Reveno, Miss Lucy Reveno, Miss Nina Kennedy, Miss Rosamond Lane, Miss Edith Young, Miss Bertha Rouff, Miss Margaret Stephens, Miss Frances Chicine, Edward Phillips, instructor; in front—Warren O’Neill, May Bills, Catherine Phalen, Bessie Farrell, Ethel O’Neill, Rose Phalen and Francie Quillinan.

Never before have there been so many summer camps, nor so many campers and pleasure-seekers, along the beautiful stretch of river between the Waterford bridge and the "Riffs" as during this season. From Lansing's Grove north, both sides of the river are dotted with tents and tiny bungalows, in which 200 or more residents of Troy and vicinity have made their homes for at least a part of the summer season. Then, too, there has been a great increase in the number of power-boats, launches, rowboats and canoes, and on pleasant Sundays and holidays the pretty river is "alive" with hundreds of boating parties. The spots most favored by the campers are Weber's farm, Converse's Island, Lansing's Grove and the cliff and point opposite the Country Club grounds above Waterford. Troy Times Art Section.

UNVEILING OF H. CLAY BASCOM MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN. The fountain presented to the city by Mrs. H. Clay Bascom as a memorial to her husband is prominently located in Prospect Park on Prospect Avenue, the main driveway, near its intersection with Sylvan Avenue, and just south of the Warren museum. The fountain, built of cast iron, is fifteen feet three inches in height and artistic in design. The tapering shaft is mounted by a draped figure of Hebe from the original statue by Thorwaldsen. Upon the side of the shaft facing the avenue is the inscription: “H. Clay Bascom Memorial Fountain, presented to the City of Troy by Ellen F. Bascom, 1908.” The fountain is provided with drinking troughs for men, horses and dogs, the water being cooled by an underground coil incased in an ice receptacle. The picture here presented was photographed during the unveiling exercises, May 22. Among those who participated in the exercises there are shown in the picture following: Carl Bascom (the boy standing at the extreme right of the picture with his head uncovered), a grandnephew of the late H. Clay Bascom, who performed the act of unveiling the monument; behind him, Chester Bascom, a brother of the late H. Clay Bascom; at his right, Mrs. Charles Ressigue and Miss Laura Bascom, nieces of H. Clay Bascom; Mrs. Sarah A. Kenney, who presented the fountain in behalf of the donor; Mrs. H. Clay Bascom, who gave the fountain to the city; Mrs. George Bascom, George Bascom (standing in front of the fountain) and their little daughter, Miss Helen Bascom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7228bde5b93209aa78902b/1602765361114-RN8F43Y7ZSTTKYYIDRQ5/bascom-fountain-pp.jpg Henry Clay Bascom (1844-1896) Color postcard of “Bascom Fountain, Prospect Park, Troy, N.

THE GRADE CROSSING ELIMINATION AT TARBELL’S CROSSING. This piece of construction work and grading was the first instance of the abolishment of a railroad and highway intersection at grade which has been directed in this city under the new law. The crossing, which is over the Boston and Maine Railroad tracks, is at the head of Nineteenth Street, Lansingburgh, and on account of the steep hill leading into the city from Brunswick and Pittstown was regarded as particularly dangerous. It is estimated that the work cost approximately $40,000, of which the railroad company pays one-half, the city one-fourth and the state one-fourth. The work was carried out by the railroad company, which performed the grading, while the contract for the concrete work was executed by John W. Flynn of Waterford. https://www.lansingburghhistoricalsociety.org/town-clock daily 0.75 2026-01-14 https://www.lansingburghhistoricalsociety.org/village-of-bath-on-the-hudson daily 0.75 2026-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7228bde5b93209aa78902b/1602765540912-HON41F8E59DO3BFN9CTR/bath-map-1858.png Village of Bath-on-the-Hudson Bath, prior to incorporation as a village, cropped and edited from: Lionel Pincus and Princess Firyal Map Division, The New York Public Library. “Map of the city of Albany: with villages of Greenbush, East Albany & Bath, N.Y.” The New York Public Library Digital Collections. 1857. http://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/f5e126a0-0bfc-0134-4768-00505686a51c https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7228bde5b93209aa78902b/1602765540780-9S7CTQDFSU6FVMO1S97M/bath-beers-rensco-map-1861.png Village of Bath-on-the-Hudson Bath, prior to incorporation as a village, cropped and edited from: Lake, D.

Although it may have been rebuilt because of damage from the fire, an 1848 newspaper referred to it as the “Old Saloon and Bowling Hall.” For many years the Olympic was a commercial and social center of the village and housed a saloon, assembly hall, theater and offices, including law offices. Over the years many theatrical productions have been held in the building, which is a rare surviving example of a once significant building type. Waite, John G.
