Troy, New York
A large-format image captures the late-day sun casting a golden hue on the western façade of the Rice Building in downtown Troy, New York. This building is one of my favorites in the Collar City, partly because I lived in its shadow for five years. My goal was to create an image that feels as though it could have been captured in the 1870s, using traditional photographic processes.
The Rice Building, originally known as the Hall Building after its builder, attorney and poet Benjamin Homer Hall, is a striking example of high Victorian Gothic architecture with distinctive Moorish window arches. Completed in 1871, it stands at the corner of 216 River Street and First Street, embodying a piece of Troy’s rich architectural history.
