Townsend Furnace
This iron cover in the sidewalk on Washington Avenue by the State Capitol bears the name of the Townsend Furnace which was a prominent Albany foundry in the 19th-century. A few blocks to the west, Townsend Park is named for the family which owned the company. One of its most notable members was Mayor John Townsend.
