The South Mall, is not a shopping mall, LOL.
The name was changed a few years ago;
but many locals still call it the Original name of The South Mall.

The chief architect was Wallace K. Harrison of Harrison S Abramowitz, and what Mr. Harrison has wrought, in brief, is a
quarter-mile-long open space containing a reflecting pool and surrounded on three sides by new buildings

The project was given the working title "South Mall," which was how I knew it during my 1970-74 stay in Albany. It was dedicated (while uncompleted) in 1973 as the "Empire State Plaza" and now has the official (1978) moniker "Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza," though it's generally referred to as the Empire State Plaza on official websites and as the "Albany Mall" by the public. I still think of it as the South Mall, so I?ll tend to use that label here.
