The New York State Capitol is the capitol building of the U.S. state of New York.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark during 1979.

In the afternoon we drove across the Hudson River to Albany to meet our friends Keith and Mary for lunch. We found a nice little restaurant called Justin's on Lark Street, a popular entertainment area with numerous restaurants and bars. Then my husband went off shopping while I started my photo tour around Albany, starting with the French chateau-like SUNY building on State Street. I walked uphill towards Albany's downtown. Unfortunately, many of Albany's historic buildings were destroyed during the Urban Renewal era of the 1960s and 1970s, but some gems remain. I admired the Albany City Hall, the New York State Capitol, the neoclassical Department of Education and the Governor Alfred E. Smith State Office Building, an Art Deco masterpiece. Then I headed over to Empire State Plaza, a huge complex of state government buildings just south <b>...</b>
