Berkshire Silhouettes

Silhouettes of people and objects fill in the windows of the former Berkshire Hotel.  Part of the long-neglected Wellington Row, it's now part of a project that will construct new buildings while saving the old facades.  The gramophone and dog are definitely an homage to Albany's iconic statue of Nipper on Broadway.

Holding Steady

Massive horizontal metal beams stabilize this facade, part of State Street's long-decayed Wellington Row. Over the past couple of years, the Row's buildings have been torn down with only the facades (or, in the case of the Wellington Hotel, just the lower portion) preserved to be incorporated into future developments.
