Albany, New York: A City of History and Architecture
Recently, I visited Albany, New York, for a brief trip over the weekend. I wandered without a plan to explore the city, starting with State Street, Albany's original "Main Street" and one of the two oldest streets in the city.
I walked along State Street, which led me to the Empire State Plaza, home to multiple government buildings, including the New York State Capitol. This massive structure was completed in 1899 at a cost of $25 million, approximately $794 million in today's currency, making it the most expensive government building of its time.
- Construction began in 1867
- Three architectural teams designed and erected the building over 32 years
The New York State Capitol is a significant part of the city's history and architecture.
