It is not a far drive at all from Central New York to hit up the capital city of Albany.

I love row houses. Seriously they are an aesthetic so unique to cities built at a certain time of a certain size. They always remind me of the home President Lincoln was taken to after John WIlkes Booth shot him. I know it is a weird association, but as a student of history, I find those things fascinating and these homes are a part of that history.
