1. The Albany Herald.
The Herald Publishing Company, a company founded in 1897, was purchased by James H. Gray in 1946. The Albany Herald would become the flagship newspaper of Gray Communication Systems (now Gray Television). In May 2017, The Herald switched to a paid subscription website. Full access to The Herald's website is free with a paid subscription to the print newspaper. After more than three decades in the historic Rosenberg Brothers Department Store building, the paper moved to a smaller office on West Broad Avenue December 2019.(Submitted on November 29, 2021, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
2. Rosenberg Brothers Department Store.
The Rosenberg Brothers Department Store building is a three-story brick structure built in 1924 in an Italianate/Neo-Renaissance Classical Revival style by J.C. Hind and J. T. Murphy. Jacob Rosenberg was a Jewish merchant who leased a store at this prominent corner lot in 1896. Rosenberg had a new department store building constructed on the site in 1923 in a Second Renaissance Revival architecture style. It continued in business until 1978 when a second Rosenberg's location opened. Gray Communications bought and renovated the building in 1985(Submitted on November 29, 2021, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)to house The Albany Herald.Photographed By Cosmos Mariner, May 5, 20212.
