Painting by James Eights as he remembered looking down State Street before the Dutch Reformed Church was demolished in 1806! Many slightly different versions of this view exist in color and in black-and-white. This image is copied from a "cheap" print in the Colonial Albany Project Graphics Archive.

On the far left or behind the upper north side of State Street is the head of Maiden Lane. The hill up from the river in Greenbush is beyond the Albany riverfront skyline. In the foreground on the right (south side) are two men sawing a log in front of James Chestney's chair factory at 134 State Street..
