Book excerpt: Excerpt from Albany's Historic Street: A Collection of Some of the Historic Facts and Interesting Traditions Relating to State Street Relating Its Neighborhood Such interest is earned in similar institutions in other cities, and there is no reason why depositors may not derive equal advantages in Albany. Such an addition to the interest receivable here will prove a vast benefit to the class of small depositors; and we therefore wish the new institution a long and prosperous career, and to promote that desirable end we unreservedly and cordially commend it to the confidence of our readers." Erastus Corning, who served the bank as president from 1869 to 1872, and whose former home (now occupied by the Albany Club) still stands in State Street, was prominent in the public life of Albany. He served on the board of aldermen and also as mayor of the city. He was a member of the Peace Convention at Washington in 1861. At the time of his death, in 1872, he was a regent of the University of the State of New York. John Henry Van Antwerp, one of the original incorporators and the last of this notable group of men to survive, succeeded Mr. Corning in office. Mr. Van Antwerp was a lineal descendant of that Daniel Janse Van Antwerp who came from Holland and settled in Beverwyck in 1661, and who became a prosperous fur-trader. Mr. Van Antwerp served his city and State in various capacities. He was influential in the creation of Washington Park. For nearly thirty years he was President of the National Savings Bank, receiving in that time no remuneration for his services save, as his biographer states, that priceless reward of a consciousness of duty well performed. Simon W. Rosendale, formerly Attorney General of the State of New York, was the third president in office, predecessor of the present and fourth president, James Hilton Manning, a former mayor of Albany. The past history and the present history of the National Savings Bank are very closely associated. Albert Parsons Stevens, of New England birth, who had been instrumental in securing the charter for the bank, resigned the office of teller at the First National Bank, and was elected May 19, 1869, secretary and treasurer of the National Savings Bank. He served the bank in this capacity and as a trustee for forty-two years. His son, Frederic B. Stevens, entered the bank in 1888, and is at present treasurer and a member of the board of trustees, his period of service covering thirty years. Daniel Manning, one of the original incorporators and a member of the board of trustees, served on this board until other affairs claimed his undivided attention. A-lr. Manning was Secretary of the Treasury during President Clevelands first administration. A touching tribute was paid to Albany by Mr. Manning when, knowing that he had but a short time to live, he asked to be brought back to his birthplace, the city on the Hudson, the river known by him so well in youth. His son, James Hilton Manning, has been connected with the bank for thirty-seven years. He has been president since 1904.

Download or read book The History of Here written by Akum Norder and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the Pine Hills neighborhood in Albany, New York, changed and grew, as reflected in the history of one house and the lives of its residents. When you buy an old house, you get much more than a house. In all its quirks, its alterations, in fragments of memory and traces left behind, you get a bundle of small mysteries. Who used to live here? Why did they come here, and where did they go? Whose name is that written on the attic wall? When did that odd little bathroom get shoehorned in there, and what did the room look like before? If youre lucky, one or two of your houses mysteries might unfold into stories. Akum Norder was very lucky. The History of Here follows Albany, New Yorks, Pine Hills neighborhood through more than one hundred years of change. At its heart is the story of Norders 1912 house and the people who built and lived in it. As Norder traced their histories, she came to see the development of her house, her street, and her neighborhood as a piece of Albanys story. In the lives of its residents, their struggles and triumphs, she saw a reflection of twentieth-century America. Drawing on interviews, city records, newspapers, out-of-print books, and other sources, Norders narrative makes a case for city neighborhoods: their value, their preservation, and the grassroots involvement that turns a jumble of houses into a community. Funny and thought-provoking, readable and relevant, The History of Here celebrates the sense of place that fuels the new urbanism. Akum Norder has contributed to the literature of American life a paean of neighborliness of which Garrison Keillor would be pleased to read, and perhaps E. B. White and even James Agee would take pleasure in this could they look in from the great beyond. Rooted in the keenly seen particular, this history has implications about the organic growth of American cities in general, and what we mean when we talk about the good old days. Gregory Maguire Akum Norder writes with an authentic voice and a deep sense of place. Her story about her familys house in Albanys Pine Hills neighborhood captures the American urban experience. Her prose is clear-eyed yet passionate, with a measure of Jane Jacobss advocacy. The History of Here is an important addition to the Albany canon.

Download or read book Albany Through Time written by Don Rittner and published by America Through Time. This book was released on 2021-05-24 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albany, New York, can be considered an eccentric city. While it is rich in history, those in power over the years have seen no reason to save it. Albanians love their history, yet politicians and business leaders, it seems, do not. Albany's four centuries of history can be revealed by simply walking up and down one street: Albany's main street, named State Street, originally called Yonkers Street (Gentleman's Street in Dutch). State Street is 1,100 feet long and 100 feet wide, packed with standing relics of this history. This book will take you through the centuries by showing maps, illustrations, and photos of that time period, with interesting bits of history associated with each. Many of the landmark buildings have been demolished over the years, so we can only honor and appreciate the ones that have survived with hopes that the wrecking ball will not take the rest.

Book excerpt: Albany is many things: one of the oldest cities in the country, the capital of New York State, and the home of early America's attempt to unite under Benjamin Franklin's Plan of Union. Located in the Hudson Valley one hundred fifty miles north of New York City, Albany has a natural beauty and a rich human legacy second to none. It grew into one of the country's most important trade, transportation, and military regions during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It became the permanent state capital in 1797 and has long been a major political center, key to New York's growth and prosperity. The year 2002 marks the 388th birthday of the settlement of a Dutch fur-trading fort on the west bank of the Hudson River. The year also marks the 350th anniversary of the founding of Beveryck, the permanent village that became Albany. Then & Now: Albany contains corner-by-corner views from four centuries. It focuses on the history as seen through the architectural transformation of a frontier village to a modern city. It is a pictorial field guide through the city's oldest streets.
