McCarthy Building (Troy, New York)

The McCarthy Building, a historic structure located on River Street in Troy, New York, was built in 1904 by Peter McCarthy and is notable for its distinctive proscenium-style arched window. Originally housing a home furnishing store, it became a celebrated architectural landmark during an early 20th-century building boom. The building was saved from demolition in the late 1960s due to community protests and its historic designation. Today, it serves as luxury apartments, reflecting its evolution while preserving its historical significance.
