Norman Rockwell, one of America's best-known artists, was a frequent visitor to Troy. Rockwell used Troy scenes as authentic backdrops and models for images for several of his paintings including Homecoming GI and Walking to Church, both Saturday Evening Post covers. A "Troy inspired" scene not as well known to area residents is his illustration celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Ford Motor Company. The street scene includes a two story brick home and portions of two adjacent residences on Fourth Street between Adams and Jefferson. A model A is shown sharing the street with several horse drawn carriages. Residents, young and old, may be seeing a horseless carriage for the first time. The illustration is appropriately titled “The Street Was Never The Same”
Once again, this lithograph has never been displayed or framed.
