Photos of the Burden Iron Company's former office building on Polk Street in South Troy, taken as part of the Historic American Engineering Record, National Park Service, historians Jack Boucher, Richard Po***ck, and Robert Vogel. Documentation that accompany the photos is dated August 1969.
Today, the building is the home of the Burden Iron Works Museum (Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway). From their website: "The Burden Iron Works Museum is located in the former Burden Iron Co. office building in South Troy. This building, constructed 1881-1882, once served as the headquarters of a major iron mill complex that stretched a mile along the Hudson River and employed nearly 2,000 men at its peak. Today it is virtually the only building left with a link to Troy’s past as a major iron center."
