Recently, Questar III students from REC installed a mural that they created that depicts Troy’s history, starting with the Burden iron works water wheel at the dawn of the Industrial age in the U.S., through the Collar City factory which revolutionized manufacturing to Monument Square, the Gasholder House which held a telescoping iron tank for coal gas to illuminate the city, and continuing to the nanotech revolution of today.
Photos show the mural in its entirety (above), a section of the mural featuring the gashouse and the actual gashouse as it is today (below).
