Denver to Houston
|
One of Albany's landmarks is the Old Jail building, built with native limestone and that still show the masons' initials. Next to it, the Old Jail Foundation Art Center, opened in 1980, has a museum that houses a collection of Chinese tomb figures dating from the third century B.C., a collection of pre-Columbian art, and nineteenth and twentieth century paintings and sculptures, including works by Henry Moore, Aristide Maillol, Pablo Picasso, Amadeo Modigliani, Giacomo Manzu, John Marin, and others. Just across the street, old grain storage units and buildings continued to feed my delight for corrugated tin. The day ended with dinner at the Ice House restaurant and a good and quiet sleep at the Inn. |
