Curved, or “serpentine” sidewalks, along with landscaping and redesigned roofs and porches are just a few of the renovations made to Albany’s O.B. Hines Homes, to give the properties what retiring Albany Housing Authority Executive Director Dan McCarthy says is the look of a typical residential neighborhood rather than a “project” look. That vision has been at the core of McCarthy’s 33-year career with the housing authority. (Staff Photo: Brad McEwen)

Retiring Albany Housing Authority Executive Director Dan McCarthy says one of the things he’s most proud of during his 33-year tenure with the organization is the revitilization of Albany’s public housing, which has included the renovation of the city’s oldest housing unit, O.B. Hines Homes in downtown Albany. (Staff Photo: Brad McEwen)

Even though he has helped supervise the construction of a considerable number of new public housing properties during his tenure with the Albany Housing Authority, retiring executive director Dan McCarthy is also quite proud of the extensive renovations that have occurred at some of the older public housing neighborhoods, such as the recent updating of O.B. Hines Homes, which were orginally built in the 1950s. (Staff Photo: Brad McEwen)
