It is one of the finest remaining Greek Revival buildings in Troy and one of the few surviving hilltop mansions built by the city's business and industrial leaders. Its builder, Titus Eddy, made the ink used for U.S. government currency, bonds and stamps.","narrative":"Glenwood is a two-and-a-half-story red brick mansion on Eddy's Lane in Troy, set on a hillside above the Piscawan Kill with views over Troy and Lansingburgh. Its central block has a low hipped roof, brownstone sills and lintels, and a full Ionic portico with a pediment whose frieze wraps around the house. A smaller T-shaped wing extends from the rear and encloses a courtyard once used for service functions. Titus Eddy came to Troy from Vermont in 1826 and started a lampblack factory on the Piscawan Kill, one of the city's chief sources of water power. He later won the contract to make ink for United States currency, bonds and stamps, using a formula known only to him and his son. The house is valued as one of the finest Greek Revival buildings left in Troy and as one of few surviving hilltop mansions of the city's industrial leaders. Today it serves as offices and community space for public housing residents.","period_of_significance":"19th Century","architect_builder":"Titus Eddy (builder)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and altered; it now houses the Troy Housing Authority's administrative offices and community rooms for residents of surrounding public housing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:39.352885-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/73001254.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75321232","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenwood_(Troy,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5569453"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/rensselaer-county/glenwood-73001254/"}
