Trinity Church, 31 Trinity Place
This
small and simple church, built in 1848, was an early commission of the
nationally significant architect James Renwick. |

|
2.
Traditional Neighborhood Overlay District
The
Albany Common Council adopted this overlay district in 1993, to protect
property owners in the majority of Albany's 19th and early 20th-century
residential neighborhoods from inappropriate renovation that would
negatively impact the character and value of properties within this
diverse district. |

3.
Wellington Row, 132-140 State Street
This
row, across from the New York State Capitol Building and Albany's City
Hall, on one of Albany's most prominent and historically significant
streets, includes the 1832 John Taylor Cooper House and the 1911 Elks
Lodge, and has been threatened and abandoned for the last two
decades. 9/1/09
Update: As of now, deconstruction on this row has begun.
The facades of the row will be saved, but a new building will be
constructed behind them. Check our website and upcoming
newsletter for more updates.

Albany’s
entertainment district. |

7.
School 17, 43 Second Avenue
Charles
B. Nichols designed this school, which was constructed in 1878 and
altered in
1890. This building sits on a crest of Second Avenue, with remarkable
views of
the South End and Downtown Albany, and
maintains a great deal of its architectural character. |

8.
Albany Knitting Company, 373 South Pearl Street
In
1886, this building was constructed to house the Albany Leiderkranz
Singing
Society. Hinckel Brewing Company owned a saloon in the building in
1915. By the
1920s the Albany
Knitting Company
occupied the structure, which complements the South Pearl streetscape
with interesting and unique architectural
details. 9/1/09 Update: Regrettably, this
building was unable to be saved. It was demolished in February 2008.
