HISTORIC CAPITAL City HUDSON A HERITAGE GUIDE TO THE Thank you to our generous sponsors: ON HISTORIC CAPITAL CITy THE HUDSON ALBANy, Ny CenTrAl Ave. Livingston Ave. Western Ave. N.

PEArl St. SeconD Ave. Rensselaer Preserving and Promoting Albany’s History Living in Albany, one of the things that never fails to move and inspire me is how rich in history our city and region are. Whether you are reading this guide as a first time visitor or are a lifelong resident, I hope you will share my passion for telling our very special and unique stories. Because Albany is as old as it is; because it is the seat of state and county government; because it has, for better and worse, undergone massive physical and social changes over its long history, we face, as a community, what could be viewed as daunting challenges. And while the layered patchwork of our city is indeed challenging, luckily, many of us see the countless opportunities that rich texture provides for building stronger neighborhoods, a more unified sense of our community, and a better quality of life. Even before I was elected to serve as mayor of this singular city I was thinking about ways to do more, and do better, with our historic and heritage resources. Luckily, there is so much going on in Albany on this front—so many groups and organizations and individuals already elbow deep in this work, fully dedicated to drawing out to the surface every facet of Albany’s history and celebrating it. This guide is one step in this new group effort to highlight aspects of Albany’s historic and heritage resources. This guide holds up some of the most prominent examples of our built environment, the stand-outs that might spark visitors’ curiosity or maybe even residents who would (and should!) like to learn more about the buildings and places that make up this special place, our home and the capital of New York State. On behalf of the Office of the Mayor and our city, we are proud to offer you this guide so that you may explore some of Albany’s best known historic and heritage sites. As you explore, I am confident that our stories will engage you and keep you coming back for more. I am so grateful to the Albany residents and visitors who see the value of our historic resources and who work so hard, every day, to promote, protect, and preserve what’s best about our city—our deep, valuable, shared history.

Hello! You are the latest in a long line of visitors to the historic capital city on the Hudson. The first European explorers founded Fort Nassau here in 1614, where Dutch pioneers traded furs with the Mohawk and Mahican locals. Albany received its charter in 1686, making it the oldest chartered city in the nation, and we have layers of history to show it. The purpose of this guide is to invite you to explore Albany’s historic and eclectic streetscape and buildings. Here we highlight some of the prominent sites in our quirky, storied city. Remember, too, that our historic neighborhoods are always open for a stroll. Must-see neighborhoods include Arbor Hill‘s Ten Broeck Triangle, Mansion (adjacent to the Executive Mansion), and the Washington Park and Center Square neighborhoods, just west of the State Capitol and Empire State Plaza. Albany lies at the heart and crossroads—historically, culturally, geographically—of our nation’s founding story, and we have much to offer residents and visitors alike in terms of education and recreation. Come. Enjoy. Explore. After 400 years, Albany continues to be an amazing discovery.

  • April Slater Signals
    SLATER SIGNALS The Newsletter of the USS SLATER's Volunteers By Timothy C. Rizzuto, Executive Director Destroyer Escort Historical Museum USS Slater DE-766 PO Box 1926 Albany, NY 12201-1926 Phone (518) 431-1943, Fax 432-1123 Vol. 18 No. 4, April 2015 Our opening month kept our tour guides busy. School was out at the beginning of April for Easter and Spring Break, so we were pleased to welcome many families and students for the first nice days of spring. Despite a few chilly days, and even the occasional April snow flurry, the days were sunny more often than not. Our opening day included two special visits. Included in Alan Fox’s group was the family of the late Joseph G. Kaufmann, who served in the Coast Guard as a motormac aboard USS RAMSDEN DE-382, in WWII. After their father's death, the family arranged for Joe’s personal war memorabilia to be donated to the Museum. Despite the chaos going on in special collections with the restoration work, Dave Pitlyk had all their father’s memorabilia out for them to revisit. A second special guest was our former Board President and Trustee Emeritus, Frank Lasch. It was Frank’s birthday, and he insisted on being brought back to USS SLATER to celebrate. We will be forever indebted to Frank for the ten years he served as our first Albany Board President, and putting SLATER on the sound financial footing that continues to this day. A very pleasant surprise on opening day. Also during the month of April, Shanna Hopson completed her new tour guide training, and passed her evaluation with flying colors.

This battle was fought on August 16, 1777, in a British effort to capture American storehouses in Bennington to restock their depleting provisions. Baum had entrenched his men at the bridge across the Walloomsac River, Dragoon Redoubt, and Tory Fort, which Stark successfully attacked. Colonel Warner's Vermont militia arrived in time to assist Stark's reconstituted force in repelling Breymann's relief column of some 600 men. The British forces had underestimated the strength of their enemy and failed to get the supplies they had sought, weakening General John Burgoyne's army at Saratoga. Baum and over 200 men died and 700 men surrendered. The Americans lost 30 killed and forty wounded The Site: Hessian Hill offers picturesque views and interpretative signs about the battle. Directions: Take Route 7 east to Route 22, then take Route 22 north to Route 67.

  • Then & Now: Albany, the South Mall and a Neighborhood Lost
    Then & Now: Albany, the South Mall and a Neighborhood Lost City Engineer, Public Works Negatives, 1930-1949. From the Archival Collection of the Albany County Hall of Records. The Princess and “The Gut” 89-01830. Private Donor. Netherlands Royal Family Visit to Albany Photo Collection. Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Mayor Erastus Corning, September, 1959. “The South Mall will be the greatest single governmental office complex history has ever known.” – Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd In September of 1959, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands came to Albany, New York to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s exploratory voyage on the Hudson River at the Hudson-Champlain Celebration. While giving the young royal a tour of downtown Albany, Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller felt embarrassed by the deteriorating South End neighborhood referred to by some as “The Gut,” an area of many dilapidated buildings and vacant structures. Albany Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd told the Knickerbocker News in 1979 that: “Rockefeller thought [the] buildings the Princess and those with her saw were not as good-looking or appropriate for a capital city as he thought they should be.” In an attempt to revitalize Albany and transform it into a city outsiders would deem worthy of being New York’s capital, Rockefeller proposed the construction of a large, modern governmental complex. In order to create this lavish site he envisioned, Rockefeller seized 98.5 acres of land in Albany’s South End through eminent domain in 1962 and demolition soon began. As a result, thousands of families and business owners lost their properties and were forced to relocate.
