C. Wendell, Book and Job Printing

C. Wendell’s printing office over Apothecaries Hall was at the central Albany location, the corner of Pearl and State. Across from the legendary Elm Tree Corner, which I just have to write about some day, the northeast corner was known as Lydius Corner, for old resident Balthazar Lydius, whose residence stood there until replaced by the Apothecaries Hall in 1832. Wendell was for some years the legislative printer, but so far I haven’t learned much else about his firm.
