Preserving James Hall Lab in Lincoln Park

Area scientists and preservationists are calling on Albany officials to help preserve the James Hall Lab building in Lincoln Park, a designated National Historic Landmark since 1976. Hall was a national prominent geologist and paleontologist in the later 1800s. The building has been poorly served since it was taken by the Albany School system and made part of the (also abandoned) Sunshine School. It suffered a recent fire and outsiders often trespass inside. At a minimum, the building needs to be made secure. Dr. Ed Landing, NYS Paleontologist, emeritus, and Lynne Jackson talk with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
