Historic Washington Park...
Current Newsletter
Elegant row houses, once the homes of Gilded Age magnates, surround Washington Park in Troy, New York. Laid out in 1840, the Park is one of only two privately owned urban ornamental parks in the United States. Troy's location, at the meeting of the Erie Canal and the Hudson River, made it an industrial center in the late nineteenth century. Its houses imitated the fashionable homes of the wealthy in New York City so well that parts of downtown Troy and Washington Park provided the "old New York" backdrop in Martin Scorcese's Age of Innocence.
Explore this site to find information on the history of Troy's Washington Park neighborhood, home restoration resources, and our Real Estate list (homes for sale and rental links). See the local Classifieds for interesting items for sale, a wide variety of Services offered by area businesses and practitioners, and a list of fresh, local Dining options.

Snow Removal – Winter 2011-12 – Park the Car in the Little Italy Lot
The snowblowing teams are ready, willing & able. A salt spreader for sidewalks is also available – volunteers
needed for that operation. Use your off street spaces, carriage houses & the Little Italy lot to keep cars off the street
during big storms (as posted). Snow removal goes much faster if cars are off the street. For Washington Place
cars, please work together to make maximum use of the yards/parking places along Adams Street. Please be
patient, pitch in to help and work cooperatively so snow may be removed. Keep your fingers crossed that we
have few snowfalls and that they are manageable. Please call Lynn at 274-6434 for additional information.
POUNCE Cat Rescue Update
POUNCE served 10 cats in December. Please don’t abandon your pets! Thanks to the Park’s Jackie Baldwin
for a rescue of a Siamese. We have 3 to place. Call Lynn at 274-6434 to foster or adopt. Funds desperately needed as demand for services is at an all time high.
