The architecture of Albany, New York, embraces a variety of styles of from the early 18th century to the present. The citys roots date from the early 17th century and few buildings survive from that era or from the 18th and early 19th century.
Albanys initial architecture incorporated many Dutch influences, followed soon after by those of the English.
Over the past four centuries, Albany has grown from a small Dutch settlement into New York States Capital City. The architecture was definitely a mix of modern with its stunning Empire State Plaza, and grand buildings like the Romanesque style city hall opened in 1883.
So many beautiful buildings to admire and true to form the history of each of them was so well narrated. The tour finished overlooking the Hudson River after walking across Hudson River Way which opened in 2002.
