Court Street 1787

South End Albany used to have a Court Street on approach to the Rennselear Bridge/Ferry but it was removed when the original Dunn Bridge was built in 1929 in favor of an elevated crossing over the rail tracks to South Ferry and South Market Street. Some of Court Street would become housing, some remained vacant.
