Talk:Albany City Hall

message: I just brought a rewrite live; please feel free to leave any comments you may have here. upstateNYer 23:18, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Awesome article! The city hall has a small passive park behind it hidden away and it is beautiful (or was) named in honor of Corning (even though it required demolition of two buildings that he himself saved from demolition when he was alive, ironicly). Photos of it and maybe some mention of it might be interesting, Mayor Jennings was one of the two city councilmen to push for the little park as an extension of the city hall and to name it for Corning.Camelbinky (talk) 23:23, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll look into it. You don't be chance know when the clocks on the tower were installed, do you? The image from 1897 clearly shows they hadn't yet been installed. That'd be an interesting factoid to include. I'll also eventually add a blurb about the Schuyler statue out front (not technically part of the building, but definitely makes the passerby think so). upstateNYer 00:15, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, the clocks were installed a bit later than the rest I do remember reading that... in fact I just read an article not too long ago on their being fixed (except I believe the side facing the Hudson is still frozen), I do believe if I can find it that it would state when they were installed. Ah, I had forgotten the statue, that would be a good addition as well. I dont know if this is able to be put in the article but I found it an interesting bit of trivia- if you are born in Albany County your birth certificate is at the county building on State Street...UNLESS you are born within the city limits (which is where all the hospitals are) then you can only get a copy of your birth certificate at city hall.Camelbinky (talk) 00:45, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This states the 1920s, though a good guess is that it was installed at the same time as the carrilon which was 1927. This source might be interesting to you, it is about a historical marker on the front of the building. Also if you get a chance I vaguely remember a plaque (may be this same one) on the front of the city hall that states the exact coordinates of the building and how far off "local noon" is compared to Eastern Standard Time, which was interesting.Camelbinky (talk) 00:55, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Please don't say The tower contains one of the only municipal carillons in the country. Is it the only municipal carillon, or is it one of a few?

thread_title: First paragraph, last sentence

message: From "1832 City Hall"
Three sentences in a row beginning with "the" and using the passive voice. Ugh. Daniel Case (talk) 22:11, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
