Albany, New York State

Another day, another capital city. This time we visited Albany – the capital of New York. The State Capitol was constructed between 1867 and 1899 at a cost of $25 million (worth approx. half a billion current dollars). The ground floor was built in the Classical/Romanesque style, the next two floors in a Renaissance Classical style, and the fourth floor and roof work were all finished in Victorian-modified Romanesque. When watching the building it reminded me of Versailles.
