100 State Street, Albany - The City Savings Bank Building : ウィキペディア英語版 | 100 State Street, Albany - The City Savings Bank Building
The City Savings Bank Building, also known as the Home and City Savings Bank, is located at 100 State Street and was the first skyscraper built in Albany, New York. It is the city's 11th tallest building today. It is a ten-story brick, granite, and terra-cotta structure located within the City of Albany's Central Business District. Designed by the famed architect Marcus T. Reynolds, 100 State Street is a mixed-use retail and office building. ==History== The original building located at 100 State Street was designed in 1901 by architect Marcus T. Reynolds, who has been noted as the best architect to come out of Albany. The building was initially intended for the City and County Savings Bank, who opened their doors at this site in May 1902. 100 State Street was Albany's very first skyscraper and meant to be easily seen from the Hudson River. Reynolds himself occupied offices in the building, where he stayed for the rest of his professional career.〔 In 1922, Albany's mayor commissioned Reynolds to design a large addition that would more than double the size of the building. The end result featured an additional six bays to the west, topped with a mansard roof, an ornate clock tower, and a terra cotta cupola. Throughout its history, the building has been the subject for artwork, such as in John Floyd Yewell's watercolor piece, painted in 1922 and now displayed by the Albany Institute of History and Art,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.albanyinstitute.org/details/items/home-and-city-savings-bank.html )〕 and in the postcards published in 1928 and preserved today by the Albany Postcard Project.
