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.

February 11, 2021 Hon. Andrew Cuomo Governor of New York State
February 11, 2021 Hon. Andrew Cuomo Governor of New York State NYS State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Hon. Andrea Stewart-Cousins Democratic Leader, New York State Senate 188 State Street LOB - Room 907 Albany, NY 12247 Hon. Carl Heastie Speaker, New York State Assembly New York State Capitol Room 349 Albany, NY 12247 Dear Governor Cuomo, Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins, and Assembly Speaker Heastie: As New York’s family defense organizations, we write to share our legislative priorities for 2021, which seek to shrink the state’s foster system while offering families and communities the support and resources they need to raise the next generation of New Yorkers. Together, our offices represent thousands of parents and caregivers in child neglect and abuse proceedings in New York family courts every year. Much like the criminal legal system, the family regulation system1 has been profoundly shaped by structural racism and operates by surveilling and punishing low-income families and communities of color. The system reinforces racial and economic inequality by treating poverty as child neglect, unnecessarily separating families and shifting resources to the foster system rather than providing the support and resources to the families it is meant to serve. As renowned scholar Dorothy Roberts told us over twenty years ago: If an outsider looked at the American child welfare system, she would likely conclude that this is not a system designed to promote the welfare of America’s children. Rather, it is a system designed to regulate, monitor, and punish poor families, 1 Many, including scholar Professor Dorothy Roberts, have come to refer to the so-called “child welfare” system as the “family regulation” system, given the harms historically and currently perpetuated by the system.
