Today during a morning stroll in Albany, New York, I was able to get a nice shot of the State Capitol.
By the time the building was finished in 1899, it was the most expensive building ever constructed in the United States. It took 32 years to complete, which supposedly is longer than it took to build the Great Pyramid of Giza.
I lived for 5 1/2 years a few blocks from that capitol building, in a nice old row house we bought and renovated. I’m a big fan of Albany and their historic preservation efforts!
Ah, did you ever read The Crazyladies of Pearl Street by Trevanian?
