An aerial view of the Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York as seen from the south looking north. On the viewer's left are the state office towers, designed by Wallace K. Harrison and Max Abramovitz. On the viewer's right is a partial view of the Corning Tower (also a state office building and designed by Harrison and Abramovitz), named after the Albany mayor Erastus Corning, II. In the background is the New York State Capitol building (1867-99), designed in part by Henry Hobson Richardson. The building between the Capitol and the last office tower is the Legislative Building, designed by James, Meadows, and Howard. There are crop marks on all four sides.
