Talk:New York State Capitol

message: I dimly recall climbing an interior staircase in the 1970s, which was decorated with a tall relief carved in stone, depicting the evolution of life on Earth, culminating in the highest form yet produced, the Camel.  Is this work of art still on public view in the capitol?  Jim.henderson (talk) 19:57, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I've seen the location of the Capitol building as State Street many places but is there a definitive USPS addess of the building as being at State St? I ask because the front of the building is actually facing Eagle St. State St just happens to be the side that faces the Empire State Plaza, which was built a century later. State St. is the most minor street the capitol faces, Washington Avenue being much wider. At the time of construction there would've been lots of brownstones and 2-3 story homes and businesses crowded on State Street across from the Capitol, much like upper State Street is in the Center Square neighborhood. Capitol Park West would've been much the same; that park wasn't created until much later. I believe that Hawk Street would've been directly to the west of the Capitol building when it was first built. So, basically- why State Street? Does the USPS use that as the address? And if so, does it have a number? If it doesn't have a street number then what would its number(s) be if it was divided into its original plots, obviously there would be numbering gap between the last State Street numbered house before and after the capitol building.Camelbinky (talk) 08:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a good question. I interned for a member of the Assembly for a while and the office was in the Capitol. I checked a copy of letterhead I still had and it states:Room XXX CapitolAlbany, New York 12248The Capitol has its own zip code–that I know for sure–but I don't think anybody ever put an address to it because, well, it's the Capitol - the only one in the state. I think we could say the location is between Eagle & Swan Sts and State St & Washington Ave. On another note, while the entrance to the Capitol may originally have been facing Eagle St., today that staircase is not ever used (to my knowledge). Employees enter from the State St entrance, which exits either to State St directly or to the plaza on the lower level. ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 22:27, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Based on Google Maps, it looks like the address would be between 152 and 199 State St. Incidentally, the Legislature would have to use State St. because the Legislative Office Building is on State St (though it does extend to Swan St, but its long direction follows State St.) ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 00:03, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Address?

message: I haven't been to Albany all that much.  I seem to recall the names of each of New York's counties being inscribed in the concrete around the building.  This is not mentioned in the article at all.  Am I thinking of a different state government building?  Tckma (talk) 16:58, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes; that's the Alfred E. Smith Building, which was built to house the bureaucracy when they could fit them all into one building. Daniel Case (talk) 04:52, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
