Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Egg (foreground) is a performing arts venue in Albany, New York. Named for its shape, the building was designed by Harrison & Abramovitz as part of the Empire State Plaza project, and built between 1966 and 1978. It houses two theaters, the 450-seat Lewis A. Swyer Theatre and the 982-seat Kitty Carlisle Hart Theatre.
The Erastus Corning Tower (background) is located on the Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York. Completed in 1973 and designed in the International style by Harrison & Abramovitz, it is the tallest skyscraper in the state of New York outside of New York City. Erastus Corning 2nd, the building's namesake, was the mayor of Albany for over 40 years from 1941 to 1983. The tower was dedicated to him in March 1983 during his hospitalization. Before that dedication, it was known as the "Tower Building". It houses the New York State Department of Health and the New York State Office of General Services |
