Hasn't changed in years, probably been close to a decade since I last visited. Truth is I didn't miss much nor would I consider coming back any time soon. Just a little walk inside.
Taken on Saturday November 16, 2024 at Guilderland, New York.
Only a few years before the modern state office campus and SUNY Albany.
From April 11, 1952 aerial photography found on the Earth Explorer.
I had made a series of these maps a while ago, but I didn't do Guilderland as I had an issue with tax map print keys not matching up. I was able to resolve that issue and now here is that map.
For many years in the 1960s, the Thruway Authority was opposed to creating an exit from the Thruway specifically for Interstate 88 due to the high cost of staffing toll booths. Ultimately they agreed but originally they had planned a connector at Exit 25. This was discarded in part due to concerns with run off from road salt into the Watervliet Reservoir.
