Tucked away at 353 Broadway, Albany, New York, the magical 'The Castle', or SUNY Plaza as it's fondly known, awaits. Formerly a bustling hub for the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, this architectural wonder is now a home to the State University of New York family. As you approach this grand edifice, over 200,000 square feet in size, you'll feel a surge of wonder coursing through the air, as if dreams were glistening beyond its walls. Time seems to slow as you explore the halls, each corner revealing a new history lesson, emblems of great Dutch families displayed proudly, their coats-of-arms speaking volumes of a bygone era.
The crown of this majestic building is the central tower, crowned by a Half Moon replica, a nod to the explorer Henry Hudson's vessel. Since 1972, SUNY Plaza has been anointed onto the National Register of Historic Places, a testament to its timeless beauty and historical significance.
