A broad stone staircase with balustrades and ornate lampposts descends through the landscaped grounds of the New York State Capitol in Albany. Arched underpasses open beneath the steps, and the grounds serve as a formal approach to the state government complex. Albany has been New York's capital since 1797, and the Capitol grounds took shape as part of the monumental government district that developed in the late 19th century.
