    Living in the tri-state area, which includes Albany, Schenectady and Troy, NY for the last 47 years, we still fortunately have a number if these glorious structures still standing. I remember cobblestone streets in my earlier years in the downtown areas and really enjoying the sound of the tires driving over them. The All Saint s cathedral is astounding! Attended a wedding there a few years back. There are still several armories, also. Schenectady has it's particular amazing structures such as the main post office, city hall, the Dutch reformed church, the stockade,ECT.....the rich history with the Iroquois is also very intriguing and various old texts referring to the "mohawk castles".....thank you for featuring Albany, NY! ❤️

    I've lived in Albany for all of my 74 years..
    I was raised on a yellow brick street in one of the oldest parts of the city and when they dug up some of our waterpipes they were petrified wood and still carrying water. You said to give a shout out if one of us had a Great Grandfather on the construction crew of the massive State Education Building but actually it was my grandfather and his brother-in-law working on the crew. The story goes that My grandmom, and her sister would wheel the baby carriages carrying my dad and cousin over to the site daily to drop off the lunch pails.
    The D&H Building on Broadway is really two buildings with an early city newspaper occupying half with a real fancy apartment in the tower and the other connected building was the D&H side. Just adjacent to it is the beautiful old Hudson River Dayline building.
    The mystery church behind the Lion Block Market might be one of the early sites of First Lutheran Church on Howard (formally Luther St) directly behind and parallel to the Albany Savings Bank with the weird door on slanting State St. First Lutheran (My Church, celebrates 375 years in Albany tomorrow making it the oldest ELCA Lutheran Congregations in the America's and residing in the longest continuously chartered city in the United States.
    I worked in The Alfred E Smith State Office building for many years, and it is an incredible place with enough history to fill a book including its construction and the moving of a multistory fully occupied Victorian apartment building off the site and across the street with only oxen and a treadmill several blocks downhill on Broadway.

      But were they building from the bottom up or were they fixing up old world buildings to try to make them look new again? The stories of moving enormous buildings to new locations seems a tall tale. People need to question why we cannot complete anything even close to these old world beauties even with our power tools, vehicles, and such.

      My dad owned a small coffee shop on Grand st that was the only remaining part of Farmers Market. I went SUNYA ,lived above,worked at Chuckrows,a poultry distributor ( and local bookie). Moved when they tore it down for the arena. Had pictures of the Rainbow Room in the old Kenmore hotel and the vacant Union Station. Alot has changed, some for the better but those days of cheap beer at the Palais Royal on Jefferson bring back good memories.

    Those huge public buildings were built with the knowledge that the city was growing exponentially and that the edifice should still meet the needs of the populace fifty years or more in the future. They were sources of civic pride.
    The aesthetics were expected to be beautiful in order to reflect the city’s new prosperity. There was really big railroad and foundry money in Albany. Beautiful buildings were status symbols. They were editorialized in the newspapers.
    And the churches at the time were built with the same goals. Bishops wanted their cathedrals to be more beautiful than their rivals’ churches- though they sold it by saying it was a reflection of divine worship. Rich people thought they might get into heaven more easily by footing the bill for such extravagance.
    Finally, the city attracted immigrants who brought with them old world building expertise, so the cheap but able manpower was there to create these works of art.

  • @mattygee6712

    Behind the old Public Market the church can only be St. Peter's Episcopal. Right location, and it has four spires on top of the tower (as you show in the video), although in real life one spire is larger and the drawing has them equal-sized. --- Since you're interested in the timelines, a great tell in Albany is the The Great Fire of 1848. A lot of buildings in the core of downtown still have partially blackened facades from the fire. Other have undergone some cleaning or restoration in the mean time. I think there is less now generally than when I was a kid, but I'm not sure. There's still a bunch around. --- A striking example is the Immaculate Conception cathedral, which was only partially completed when the fire happened. If you see a picture today, one of the towers is still black from the fire. The spire is from a later date. They've added to the cathedral several times, and did a restoration mid-century I believe, but left the black tower, which is really cool, history in stone.

No they’re not, they are the same. One is looking up State Street at the front of it And the longer version is the side view which takes up a whole block and it has some kind of area in the back that’s almost as big as the building. Like a concourse. You had also mentioned about the slope of the buildings , Why they would put the front entrance on a slope. Those buildings are on State Street, the Main Street from the D&H building going up a pretty good size hill, I used to work on that street.

    100,000 at the turn of the century but in a developed area of 1/10 the size of Albany today. Areas such as Manning Blvd which now are in the middle of the city were built as vacation homes for the wealthy . Manhattan in the 1880's was highly congested but Harlem was farmland.

    Thank you for this narrative, the state education building is a fine example of an inherited magnificent old-world building. Looking at the elevation on the narrow end, not sure what is going on the sides of the entrance. the "shadows" seem darker on the lawn areas than on the sidewalk area? I also tried to zoom in on the power line trails and some of them seem to be running into the side windows, which is weird IMHO. Thinking that this stunner had no electricity when it was founded and they needed to get wired for lighting inside while figuring out WTH. Last thing that is odd to me is that piping looking on the far end top.

    I propose. The large 150m or more statues were idols. Made of gold and others. Not in plating but full gold. Now the lesser nation took their clay technology and scaffolds and took them apart piece by piece. Hence all these are now segmented. Likewise. Nations under the east and west wings of the Greater Tyre/Touran/Tyria contained them all as one nation visibly. The segmentation of kingdoms now are necessitated by their lesser aspect and weakness: also the technological progression narrative arises from this need and of a lack of power.

      Once more: virtualization of worship via smart phones and invisible internet cultures of idolatry are "scaled back" cousins of the very real external idolatry. Concerts and tv shows are nothing comparable to gigantic scenes of open idolatry which was mass-- not segmented by home and person as now.

    I'm glad to hear that you are in the camp of the old world presenters who do not just question the mainstream narrative - you dismiss it.
    good.
    it needs to be dismissed, discounted and exposed for what it is: a crass and untenable lie of breathtakingly ludicrous proportions.
    I wonder, tho, why people like your might not want to relieve yourself of the burden of constantly weaving back and forth with the msn, having to ad caveats, often resorting to satire and sarcasm (wh is understandable) and just make the effort to do one thing:
    for any given city/area you are exploring, pick a digestible timeframe of, say, 20 - 40 years and take the time to gather the following data for that time frame:
    - the number of old world buildings (allegedly) constructed
    - the number of years it (allegedly) took for each building to be constructed
    - the number of able bodied men in that time frame (per any avlb census figures)
    - a rough estimate of the cost/expenditure of each building
    a concise chart with these facts and figures headed and organized would be, I would think, an eye popping cliff notes.
    I imagine such a chart would speak for itself and scream with an improbability that you, the narrator, would not need to coerce , prove, or otherwise bother with convincing the audience of.
    as a quick example; the Erie Canal.
    when you do the math, it would have taken a gang of able bodied men, working 6 days a week for four years doing the following work at a rate of ONE MILE PER WEEK WITHOUT THE USE OF POWER EQUIPMENT:
    - clearing a one mile by 40 yard area of old growth forrest in one week (repeat: CLEARING - removing stumps and all, by hand and ...mule - one mile per week for 48 weeks.)
    - digging a perfectly level trench - one mile, in that same one week, by hand and...mule for 4 years (48 weeks)
    - lining the canal with beautiful stone masonry - one mile, in that same one week, by hand and...for 4 years
    - landscaping with beautiful walkways and walls - one mile's worth in that same one week...for 4 years.
    when you consider that it takes a modern arborist crew equipped with the most advanced cranes and power tools almost an ENTIRE DAY JUST TO COMPLETELY FELL AND REMOVE AN OLDER TREE - STUMP AND ALL, you don't even need to be prodded to see the foolishness of believing a crew could remove a mile's worth of trees in one week, by hand.
    let alone dig a canal and finish it with fine masonry in one week, by hand.
    keep up the good work.
    (I'm too lazy to do the charts I speak of. but I can't imagine it would be all that time consuming to do. and, as I said, it might relieve you of any burden to worry about convincing anybody what you and I already know: the old world architectural narrative is a bunch of hooey.) (it's amazing how many construction people don't even get it. whatta gonna do??)

      I appreciate your input here. I think some of the 'main stream forgiveness', which I am often guilty of, comes from trying to ease newcomers into the bathwater, if you will. An attempt not to overload the viewer to the point that they shut down and recoil, but to get them gently interested. That being said, I'm more inclined now to say what I think about what I'm seeing...and let the chips fall where they may. I like your chart idea, and re the canals, I've heard the same can be said for the clear cutting of forests in the eastern states or the laying of rail lines.

Construction workers in trades started out as apprentices knowing Way more than anyone in the trades in the USA today and started out with generations of knowledge possibly passed down to them and everyone was just way more competent and capable and knowledgeable and skilled and it was a merit based system with extremely high standards that Created those White Men who built everything worth building in the nation back then and they were just so much faster and smarter and most importantly so much more knowledgeable than anyone in the construction industry in liberal run no standards no merit no clue trash USA today

Could be the biblical flood, and many other accounts, but these organizations have managed to falsify the timeline, pushing 'biblical' events further into the past. Further away from us. America appears to be a major prize. It also appears to be the battleground for independence from the parasites. We are nearing endgame in their quest for total control...but as we get closer, we are able to see more of the deception and divert the trajectory?...me just thinking out loud too...thanks for watching and interacting.

Granted it didn’t really start to have any population until the 1970s and started to take off in the 80s. But it’s all just ticky tack junk that is put up here. It’s astonishing the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into commercial, municipal, and religious buildings before world war 2 versus the absolute thoughtless junk that is built today. And they pay a fortune for these modern structures too. These new schools are built for 50-100 million dollars or more.

You know hockey and how the Bruins are an original 6 (started using it for boxing and hockey in late 1800's , early 1900's) and that was where the team played . They destroyed it in the 90's but the new "Garden" they built still serves as a main station . Just thinking if it was the Massachusetts way of saying "union station"
