Explore History From Your Apartment in Albany
Since its founding in the 17th century, downtown has always been the center of Albany. Today, the 19-block area is a designated Historic District, which radiates outward from the intersection of State Street and North and South Pearl Streets – the very corner on which Abraxas at 90 State Street is located.
Stroll along downtown Albany’s cobblestone streets to discover some of America’s earliest history, or over to Broadway, where the State University of New York (SUNY) rises like a gothic castle, complete with spires and turrets. Head up the hill to the Capitol, then across State Street to Empire State Plaza and the Egg, a uniquely designed, ultra-modern performing arts center that offers a stark contrast to the many historic buildings and skyscrapers that surround it.
