SUNY Plaza, Historic skyscraper in downtown Albany, United States
The central tower of SUNY Plaza rises 13 stories high with corner turrets and a diagonal five-story arm connecting multiple sections of the building.
Erected between 1914 and 1918 as Delaware & Hudson Railroad headquarters, the structure received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1972.
The building incorporates carved beavers on the fifth story of the north wing, representing Albany's foundation as a fur trading center.
The structure provides 200,000 square feet of office space and houses the administrative center for the State University of New York system.
An 8-foot copper weathervane shaped like Henry Hudson's Half Moon ship sits atop the central tower at 225 feet above ground level.
