Destito, Commissioner of General Services Due to the evolving concerns regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19 virus), the Office of General Services has implemented new visitor restrictions to ensure the health and well-being of our employees and the public. Effective immediately, and as a necessary precaution, the New York State Capitol and the Legislative Office Building (LOB) will have restricted access until further notice in response to the evolving COVID-19 situation. Building access will be limited to: State employees who have official duties within those buildings; credentialled journalists; and essential authorized guests attending to official business with the Executive, the Attorney General, the State Legislature, or the Division of the Budget.

  • 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.

  • So Our Past Has a Future
    a n n ua l r e p o rt 2016-2017 So our past has a future. MISSION The Preservation League of New York State invests in people and projects that champion the essential role of preservation in community revitalization, sustainable economic growth, and the protection of our historic buildings and landscapes. We lead advocacy, economic development, and education programs all across the state. New York will mark the bicentennial of the iconic Erie Canal from 2017-2025. This period represents the span of construction, from the groundbreaking in Rome in 1817 to the fabled “Wedding of the Waters” in New York Harbor in 1825. To help celebrate this anniversary, we’re highlighting some of the work we’ve done in the Erie Canal corridor—in places like St. Johnsville, Seneca Falls, Cohoes, Albion—and in many other communities large and small across New York State.
