Carey Organ Company: “ wind that passes
through tubes of brass create a melodious tune we hear
throughout the city”. Carey Organ Company was founded
in 1965 by Paul Carey. They build, restore and perform
tonal revisions and routine maintenance on organs
throughout the northeast.

It illuminated our corner of the world, expanding and
contracting as Troy woke up and went to sleep. The
Gasholder house designed by Frederick A. Sabbaton and
built in 1873 for the Troy Gas Light Company. It is one of
only 10 remaining examples of this style of storage tank
for coal gas. The diameter of the building is
100 feet, and the tank located in the round brick building
could store 333,000 cubic feet of gas. The tank lowered
and raised as the illuminating gas was needed.
