C-SPAN Cities Tour - Albany: New York State Capitol Building Tour

The historic New York State Capitol building to learn about the history, art and architecture of this distinctive structure. While there, we'll also hear the stories of numerous New York governors who have run for and either won or lost their races for the US presidency- as we look at their portraits in the building's Hall of Governors.

Wish we are allowed on the stairway

When I was in Albany 14 years ago I decided to climb the huge stairway on the east side of the capitol and I did all the way to the top. It was quite a workout and quite a view of the riverfront from the top landing.

Are you kidding me? The modern face (who even Grant) of that stair case resembles NOTHING of the actual face carvings of the “unknown”
actually belonging to original construction.
......so in the 1850’s we were just hollering across the pond over to the British Isles with our sandstone order? LOL
That is soooo far beyond our current construction abilities. Of coarse there is NO reason to expect anyone who’s no meaningful amount of time spent working in the trades would understand this. Nevertheless, there is NO way we built that building in the way it is described, absolute foolishness.

There is NO reason to expect that anyone whose thinking has been contaminated by ridiculous conspiracy explanations for what they see around them would understand the history of the real world in which they live.
