Showcasing the architectural grandeur of New York's capital, this mid-century view features the massive colonnade of the State Education Building in Albany. Completed in 1912, the building is world-famous for its 36 Corinthian columns. It is the longest such colonnade in the world. The back of the card provides fascinating architectural specifications, noting the use of Maine gray granite for the base and white Vermont marble for the front and end walls and columns.
