If These Walls Could Talk
St. Anthony’s church got on the road to restoration
and becoming a community arts center; Ed Keegan’s vacant
building in Hudson sported messages decrying the city’s
threats to seize it by eminent domain and flinging barbs
at the mayor; Jim Coyne offered to buy the Washington Avenue
Armory from the state, then Albany decided it might want
the building for a new library, so for now, the sale to
Coyne is off, he’s suing the state, and the building
remains vacant; Albany’s other vacant buildings, like
the Wellington Hotel, were inventoried, and plans are afoot
to fix some up; Building 36 on the GE campus—just one
over from the one with the big sign—was demolished
despite protests from Schenectady preservationists.
