“Since 1969 TAP has championed architectural and community preservation. In recent years we’ve celebrated our success annually with a street party at our office. This year we join dozens of cities in the US to celebrate a whole month of ARCHTOBER : Troy Edition! We all love Troy’s architecture. This is our way of showing a little love to our architects, and the organizations we all work with to improve the health, sustainability, and beauty of our built environment.”
