Photographer: Don Rittner
Caption: Uncle Sam House
Additional Description: The wooden clapboard sided house was at one time the home of Samuel Wilson. The house stood on the corner of Seventh Ave. and Ferry Street. The building is no longer there because, sadly, the City of Troy and the State of New York tore it down in 1976 while the country was celebrating its bicentennial. In recent months the city of Troy has expressed interest in creating a type of Tourist attraction at the site of the former home which is beside a busy thoroughfare.
