Albany or decades, a black-and-white photograph hung behind the bar at La Serre, a por­ trait of Mario Cuomo announcing his candidacy for governor in 1982 from a podium with the restaurant's logo and a cluster of microphones, as his political mentor, Albany Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd, looked on. The photo documented a seminal moment in Albany political history and encapsulates the essence of La Serre. The mahogany-paneled hidea­ way on Green Street, a few blocks from the Capitol, was a favorite power lunch destina­ tion and happy hour hangout for politicos, stockbrokers, lawyers and lobbyists with expense accounts. It had sophistication and joie de vivre. The main dining area was a sun-splashed solarium - LaSerre means "greenhouse" in French. Green leather ban­ quettes accentuated a carved marble mantelpiece and tulip-shaped wall sconces cast a soft amber glow over lovers and dealmakers in intimate conversation. La Serre was where couples toasted anniversaries and special occasions with a fine-din­ ing experience of French wine, duck and goose pate, beef au poivre and duck a l'orange. Celebrities from an earlier era passed through as welL Movie star Kirk Douglas, who grew up in Amsterdam, celebrated his 70th birthday at La Serre with his two sisters, who lived locally, and other friends. The actor Maureen Stapleton, a Troy native, dined there, and so did actor Anthony Quinn and CBS anchor Walter Cronkite. The late state senator Ronald Stafford and former Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos both got married at the restaurant. The late Assembly Speaker Stanley Steingut was persona non grata after he stubbed out a cigarette with his shoe in an upstairs private room, leaving an ugly burn mark on the carpet. Along with catering to the politically powerful with discreet service, the French-themed restaurant was a trend-setter on the local dining scene when it arrived in 1977· Its menu featured vichyssoise for $1, a half-dozen snails for $2.25, crepes La Serre for $3.95, filet de sole for $3.95, and chocolate mousse for $1.75· Fortune magazine did a spread on the restaurant's haute cuisine in 1978. Now, after 43 years, crippled by the coronavirus pandemic shutdown and years of sliding business - further worn down by a long wait for a promised downtown revitalization that never materialized - owner and co-manager Anne Trimble decided to close the ven­ erable establishment. "The pandemic was the perfect storm for us," said Trimble, 71, a mother of two and grandmother of four. She opened La Serre with her late husband, Geoffrey, in 1977, when both were in their 20s. She and her son, John, who co-managed the restaurant, jointly made the decision not to re-open. She will ease into retirement and her son, a commodi­ ties trader and real estate agent, is weighing options. "We decided this was the right time," Trimble said. "Running the restaurant has been a blessing. We worked with a wonderful staff and served many loyal customers who became friends. We don't owe anybody any money at this point. We can't keep waiting another 10 years for downtown to come back." Anne and Geoffrey Trimble married in 1972, a couple years after they met while both were attending the University at Albany and working as waiters at L'Ecole restaurant at Stuyvesant Plaza. They dreamed of opening their own place. Her father, John Treffiletti, a wholesale grocer and owner of the Star Supermarkets chain, in 1976 purchased a former stationary store at 14 Green St. that had been vacant for years after it was badly damaged by a fire. Trimble's brother-in-law, Dr. William S. ]ones, was also an investor and partner. "Big John," as her late father was known, was a longtime neighbor and close personal friend of Democratic machine boss Dan O'Connell. He was also close to Corning, Albany's 11-term mayor, and became a behind-the-scenes political power broker. Treffiletti was born at 105 Green St. in 1922, a son of Italian immigrants. His family started with a small grocery store in an Italian enclave of the South End - Albany's ethnic melting pot. Treffiletti never forgot his working-class immigrant roots. He had a favorite saying: "If you can't tip the shoeshine boys, you better polish your own shoes." I got to know Big John in the mid-1ggos when I was researching my biography of Mayor Corning. He invited me to lunch at La Serre. We sat on the patio under the shade of sugar maples. He doled out stories of O'Connell and Corning over loaves of warm Italian bread, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, tomatoes, olive oil and vinegar. Glasses of red wine were poured and refilled. He exuded Old World charm and conviviality. Time seemed to stand still when Big John held court. I got invited back. At Big John's communal table, I met Jay Donnaruma, a stockbroker who worked for First Albany Corp. at go State St. He and coworkers met for drinks at La Serre after work for years and he also attended monthly luncheons with a group of executives called the Hud­ son River Club, now disbanded. "La Serre was just the perfect spot and it felt like a family," said Donnaruma, who held his retirement party at La Serre two years ago. Donnaruma introduced me to a group of raconteurs who were La Serre regulars, includ­ ing Leo P. Dean, a World War II paratrooper who continued to sky dive and work full­ time as an insurance agent until his death at 91 in 2015. In 2009, he was presented with the French Legion of Honor during a visit to France. Leo liked to raise a wine glass filled with "Leo's blend," a mix of pinot grigio and merlot. "My first one today," he'd say with a twinkle in his eye. Last Thursday, I sat in the shuttered restaurant with Donnaruma and Trimble. They swapped stories about the cast of characters who animated La Serre, where everyone seemed to have a nickname: The Rube, the Prince of Darkness and Ranger Bob. Big John's spirit hung over the place. "My father loved La Serre and he made many wonderful friends here. It was where he came to socialize," said Trimble, one of five sisters. Trimble made a final pour from a wonderful red blend from Tuscany, a 2012 Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia. We had pored over old photo albums. On the stereo, Louis Arm­ strong blew his trumpet mournfully. "We had a wonderful run," said Trimble, whose voice choked up while remembering longtime customers who had passed away. Reflexively, she rattled off numbers of the tables where they sat and their preferred brand of liquor in cocktails. "It's the end of an era," Donnaruma said. "Downtown won't be the same without La Serre." • Paul Grondahl is director of the New York State Writers Institute at the University at Albany and a former Times Union reporter.

    Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve UC0055 1 of 1 Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve 1966-1976 UC0055 QUANTITY: 2 boxes ACCESS: Open to research ACQUISITION: PROCESSED BY: Margie Amodeo Biographical Note: The Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve formed in January 1966 as a coalition to be prepared challenges to Article XIV at the New York State Constitutional Convention. It was designed to serve as a liaison at the time of the Convention and in May 1968 elected to continue serving to alert organizations state-wide to a variety of concerns that related to the problems of the Forest Preserve. When the coalition was founded, officers from over fifty organizations joined along with the individual memberships were issued. Proposed changes to the constitution were bundled and voted on as a whole and rejected by every New York county. The CCFP continued to function as a group seeking to maintain Forest Preserve protection within the state constitution. As of January 1971, the Council consisted of 138 members. The officers included David Newhouse (who would also become an advisor to the TSCFA), David Sive, Arthur M. Crocker, R. Watson Pomeroy and William K. Verner. The consortium was dissolved in 1976 because as David Newhouse, CCFP Chairman, writes, “its function is now fulfilled by other organizations such as EPL and The Adirondack Council.” Any remaining funds were transferred to the Adirondack Council. Scope and Content Note: This Collection includes evidence of not only the internal discussion informing the opinions and decisions of this group of environmentalist leaders but letters and statements from members to political leaders.

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.

  • Morris Gerber Collection—Supplemental
    Albany Institute of History & Art Library MORRIS GERBER PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION 1860-1970s bulk, 1910-1960 23 lin. ft., 47 boxes Series I. Street Views Series II. Subjects Series III. Photo Acquisition of 1983 2002 Biographical Note Morris Gerber was a typesetter at the Albany, NY newspaper, the Times-Union. The collection was assembled by Morris Gerber from the archives of Stephen Schreiber and William Klein, both Albany photographers; discards from the Albany NY newspaper Knickerbocker News morgue and purchases. Photographers in the collection include: Stephen Schreiber; William Klein; Fellowcrafts Studio; Joseph H. Winchell III; Ed Driscoll; Robert Wilder; Roberta Smith; Joe Higgins; Bernie Kolenberg; Ray Joy; Morris Gerber. Scope and Content Note The Morris Gerber Photograph Collection represents a significant documentation of the architectural, social, cultural and economic development of Albany's history from the 1860's into the 1970's, although the bulk of the collection covers the 1910's through the 1950's. Views include building interiors and exteriors, action photos (such as fires, floods, parades, and building construction), urban and suburban residences and businesses. The collection provides researchers with photographic documentation of a wide variety of public and private spheres of human activity in Albany ranging from city sponsored parades to life in a suburban home. Concentrated mostly in the second quarter of the 20th century, the images depict the growth of some of the more "suburban" neighborhoods in Albany (such as Pine Hills) and the flourishing and decline of certain types of businesses. The Morris Gerber Photograph Collection provides a valuable record of streetscapes and facades that have been altered or have vanished over the years.

Hamm & Professor Mitch Aso May 10, 2019 2 Abstract Public and private schools throughout American history have been segregated due to policies crafted and implemented by local school boards. The Supreme Court decision in the Brown v. Board of Education case said segregated public schools were inherently flawed and that the idea of separate-but-equal had no place in public education. But how were school boards to integrate the schools? Cities such as Albany had neighborhoods that had a majority black proportion, meaning that the schools within these neighborhoods were going to be segregated.
