Hopefully at some point there'll be a public tour of these gorgeous windows.

Many artworks commissioned by the rich and powerful for their final resting places have rarely been seen by the living for the last century.

Sadly this building is currently vacant and deteriorating.

Do you drive by this building in downtown Albany and wonder what it was built for?

The Dutch-inspired building, erected in 1907, served as the Hudson River Day Line ticket office until 1948. The steamboats operated by the Hudson River Day Line were famous for their speed and elegant furnishings. The building was moved approximately 100 feet south of its original location when the Delaware and Hudson and Albany Evening Journal buildings were built.

An obsession with luxury is transforming cities into bland, isolating landscapes. Architecture should be for creating community.

Marketing is consuming our culture to the point that the product seems almost irrelevant to its own success.

As we are nearing the end of 2023, now is the perfect time to do an end of year investment in the restoration project at 48 Hudson Ave. HAF has received over $1.7M in grant funds for our restoration work at the Van Ostrande-Radliff House. The last piece of the puzzle is investment in the NYS and Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credits. We have already had several investors at the minimum investment level and up, each contributing an amount that is meaningful to them. If you've been thinking about being a part of Albany's oldest building, check out our investment page at https://commonowner.com/project/48-hudson

Views of the Empire State Building are being obscured by a new 860-foot luxury tower rising just blocks away. Should New York regulate its skyline?

It's officially fall!

In the 1920s and 1930s the New York Central Railroad commissioned noted artists to paint attractive scenes and popular destinations served by its routes, and used the images on promotional materials. This original painting of Storm King Mountain by Walter Greene was reproduced as a poster. Beginning in 1903, Schenectady native Walter Greene managed the art department at General Electric for thirty-seven years. In the 1920s he also started working for the New York Central, where he was their chief calendar illustrator from 1925 until 1931 and produced rich, attractive landscapes of the Hudson Valley and Adirondack Mountains for advertising purposes.
