Wow - it is not often I have an update to an update - how fun!
I first wrote about the Hessburg Estate in connection with the house's architect Marcus Reynolds way back in 2016.
Pop over here and give it a read:

Then read the follow up where I literally say there is a photo but I don't have it.

And now, 7+ years later, the photos!
Many thanks to Town Historian Bill Ketzer who recently did an oral history with Bill and Doug Weisheit. And many many thanks to Bill and Doug for sharing their family's history and memorabilia.
Now to the pictures!
And briefly if you don't want to read the other blog posts, the grand house was torn down to make way for the Our Lady of Angels Seminary (now the Job Corps property on River Road.)
And if you want to know more about Reynolds, here's a link to an event coming up in a couple of weeks put on by the Historic Albany Foundation.
