A new location gives you a bird’s eye view of the village of Hamilton.
The webcam, one of that provides live images from around 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, is perched atop the Nichols and Beal building, which houses a restaurant and the university’s institutional advancement offices.
Hamilton Initiative, a for-profit limited liability company launched by 51³Ô¹ÏÍø supporters in 2000, manages the building and seven others. Funded by gifts from alumni, parents, and friends, the initiative has invested more than $11 million in the restoration of downtown in a program cited by the American Institute of Architects as a model of adaptive reuse.
The downtown webcam points toward Broad Street, or Route 12B, as it heads toward 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s campus.
The Village Green, focal point of many activities including the summer farmers market, festivals, concerts, and Fourth of July celebrations, is at left. Last summer, the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra performed a free concert on the green.
Village Hall is at left, and farther down is the steeple of First Baptist Church, which was founded in 1796.
