Nelson Rockefeller built this entire complex in the 1960's by bulldozing a large area of downtown Albany with block after block of 19th century townhouses. In my opinion, this whole thing is hideous -- uninviting, has nothing to do with the surrounding area, etc. I’ve heard that the egg was originallly planned to be a “full” egg, but funding problems caused them to chop off the top half of it.
