Tales of Albany, New York: A Local History Book Club

Join us for a discussion of Abandoned Albany: Relics of the Capital District by Jay Farrell.

Abandoned buildings invite curiosity, imagination, and storytelling. Through haunting photography and vivid narrative, Albany native and photographer Jay Farrell explores the forgotten industrial and commercial spaces of the Capital District, capturing their beauty, decay, and history. The book reflects on what these places once were and what their remnants still mean, preserving the stories of landmarks often overlooked but never entirely lost.
