    Albany City Guide

    Built at the head of navigation on the Hudson River, Albany is one of North America’s oldest European-founded settlements. The Dutch-influenced city’s charter is the oldest in force in the country. Albany is most famous as the capital of powerful New York State. Politics aside, the Capital District has come to reflect the general American demographics better than any other major municipality. That diverse population is seeking Albany out for the jobs in its expanding tech sector – going by the name of Tech Valley – the lively arts and culture scene, and attractive home values.

    Architecture and landmarks

    Albany displays some of the most imposing civic architecture in America with its Empire State Plaza, a collection of International-style buildings surrounding a reflecting pool. The 589-foot Erastus Corning Tower is the tallest, and The Egg, a performing arts venue, the most distinctive. The New York State Capitol is a unique chateauesque design, while the 444-step Grand Western Staircase took 14 years to complete. Albany City Hall, with its standout pyramidal corner tower, has landed on its fair share of “America’s Most Beautiful Buildings” lists.

    On the opposite side of downtown, the Gothic-influenced former Delaware & Hudson Railroad Building dominates the real estate that is now the State University of New York. Art Deco splashes on the Albany skyline include the Home Savings Bank on Pearl Street, the Foley United States Courthouse, and the Alfred E. Smith Building. The Quackenbush House, fashioned in brick and with a proud Dutch pedigree, is the oldest intact building in Albany, dating back to the 1730s. In the city’s warehouse district, a giant statue of Nipper the RCA Dog – an iconic advertising symbol of the electronics giant – has sat attentively on a building roof on Tivoli Street for generations.
