Anton Pasquill at the soon to be Hudson River Coffee Company

By Anthony Geras

The Hudson River Telephone Company building at Quail and Hudson in Albany kind of makes you do a double take. It's an interesting building, but it looks a little out of place in the neighborhood. It's big, it's antiquated, and until recently, it was vacant.

The basement is filled with old switchboards, but in mid October the first floor will be the home of the Hudson River Coffee House -- a coffee shop/art space/game room created by recent UAlbany alum Anton Pasquill.

After graduating in June, he's done everything from construction, to roasting coffee, to hunting down vintage 80s arcade games in his effort to get the new shop ready.
