Wellington's @ The Renaissance Hotel - Albany New York - ALK's Wellington Hotel - Lost Gone Adaptive Reuse

            Thousands of people gathered downtown to watch as the nearly century-old Wellington Hotel Annex building fell in seconds, clearing the way for a new $66.5 million convention center in Albany, New York.
144 State St, Albany, NY 12207, USA

After opening in 1905, Albany's Wellington Hotel symbolized staid respectability to generations of guests. Located just up State Street from the Capitol and down the hill from "Rockefeller's Folly" (officially known as the Empire Plaza), the Wellington was long popular with legislators and officialdom. Mario Cuomo moved into the Wellington when he came to Albany as a law clerk in 1956, and returned during his terms as lieutinent govenor in the 1980s.
