McKinney Iron Works
James McKinney's iron works was a leading producer of columns, facades, stairs, railing, and other building elements in cast or wrought iron. Located in a massive brick building which still stands along Broadway, the company was found in 1857 and was also known as the Albany Architectural Iron Works.
Other cast iron examples I've posted so far:
On James Street
Sun On Beaver Street
Decay By The Tracks
Madison Relic
There's more to come, including another McKinney work with a personal connection.

Exchange Street
A small Bicentennial tablet on the wall of the Old Post Office on Broadway at the foot of State Street. There's not much of the original street left, only a short walkway between the Old Post Office and the Federal Courthouse. At one time, though, Mark Lane led to wharves on the Hudson River.
For more on the history of the Bicentennial Tablets, please see my new post at the Albany (NY) History blog.
