Ezra Price Apartments and Mount Hope Development
It looks like Ezra Price was constructed around 1967, while the Mount Hope Development row houses were built from 1964-1970. Probably a subsidized development to make up for losses to downtown's residential core when the Empire State Plaza was built. I'm interested and trying to dig more into details.

Albany Plan 1695
Here is a Map of Albany showing the stockade in 1695, overlaying the contemporary arerial photo of Albany. At the top of the hill, was Fort Frederick sitting atop State Street Hill (Capitol Hill) it replaced the earlier Fort Orange along the Hudson River, offering protection for Pearl Street and lands below it. John Wolcott told me that Pearl Street was likely a corruption of "Peril Street" due to the risk of being shot by invaders down from the top of the hill.
Artery Art, Albany
I sometimes like to call these maps Artery Art. The simple, clean layout doesn't provide much information but is appealing to the eye
