1920s view of Hawk st. viaduct (over Sheridan Hollow) looking towards Clinton Ave.

            View from on high at the State Education Building, Washington Avenue.  A single vehicle crosses the viaduct heading toward Clinton Avenue.  The two large smokestacks in the foreground are to the Capitol Building Power Plant, Sheridan Avenue.  St. Joseph’s Church (three steeples), Ten Broeck Avenue, is prominent at photo center, the Tabernacle Baptist Church and steeple, Clinton Avenue & Ten Broeck Avenue, on the right, to its immediate right, the Fourth Presbyterian Church on Broadway, the steeple, just out of frame.  Now zoom in, through the mist, see left to right, a gasometer of the Municipal Company Gas Works in North Albany (the dark shadow), the twin towers of the Albany Industrial Building, 1031 Broadway, three of the four smokestacks to the Riverside Power Plant on the Hudson River, that missing is behind the main steeple of St. Joseph’s Church, and yes, there is a fourth smokestack visible, mostly likely part of the Rathbone and Sard Foundries, North Ferry Street.  Is there an “S” toward the top, looks that way, but a clearer view is yet to be discovered?  Next, the massive Quinn and Nolan Beverwyck Brewery Building, also North Ferry Street, across from the foundries.  The building in the mist with water tower on top between the Tabernacle Church steeple and Capitol Power Plant smokestack housed the Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company prior to 1920.  Becoming part of the Albany Terminal Warehouse Company that would eventually build Central Warehouse in 1927 thereafter.  Not yet constructed Central Warehouse would appear next to the small NYCRR truss bridge still carrying the railroad over Montgomery Street seen in the mist directly behind the Tabernacle Church steeple.
