“CIVIC CENTER FOR ALBANY.

State Architect Franklin B. Ware, in his annual report to the New York Legislature, recommends the erection of two new public buildings in Albany–A Hall of Records and a Temple of Justice.  He proposes, with the governor’s approval the state’s gradual acquisition of land all around the Capitol, to the end, as new buildings are located, there and may be developed on Capital Hill an architectural group which shall be worthy of the State of New York.  Thus far it is an admirable recommendation, and one that may even be said to have been inevitable.”
