- National Register of Historic Places listings in Albany, New York
-
The National Register of Historic Places listings in Albany, New York represent the history of Albany from the Dutch colonial era, through the British colonial era, the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and World War II, in addition to various periods of immigration into New York's capital. There are 58 listings on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in Albany, 14 of which are National Register Historic Districts plus 5 National Historic Landmarks. The sites illustrate the city's architectural heritage, colonial history, transportation advancements, as well as general economic, religious, and infrastructure growth in the city. Because Albany is the state's capital, many of its NRHP sites are municipal in nature. Three sites have former military significance.
The NRHP is the United States government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects deemed worthy of preservation. A property listed on the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred preserving the property. Sites are nominated by owners or other interested parties. Nominations are processed by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP) and selected by the National Park Service (NPS), a branch of the Department of the Interior.
The oldest site on the Register in the city is the site of the Dutch-built Fort Orange (1624). Continuing into the colonial era, the Register includes mansions of successful land and business owners of the time as well as a notable general of the American Revolutionary War. The 19th century brought a boom in transportation in Albany, leading to both economic and population growth. Immigrants developed tight-knit neighborhoods, many of which now comprise the city's 14 historic districts. Churches, eight of which are listed, sprung up to meet the needs of the new population. State and federal government are responsible for seven of the listed properties (from municipal buildings to armories to one Navy destroyer escort). City government built at least three of the sites on the Register. The turn of the 20th century saw the building of a grand train station. Later in the century a vaudeville theatre, railcar diner, and two distinct neighborhoods were built and later recognized on the Register.

42°38′53″N 73°45′15″W / 42.64806°N 73.75417°WDowntown At the time it was listed, it was one of the few commercial buildings downtown that retained its original storefront.[2] In 1987 it was demolished to make way for what is now the Times Union Center.[3] 2 The Albany Academy February 18, 1971 Academy Park
42°39′10.94″N 73°45′17.77″W / 42.6530389°N 73.7549361°WDowntown Philip Hooker designed the original home of the Albany Academy, one of his two remaining buildings in the city. Now used as office space for the city school district, it is known as the Joseph Henry Memorial after the scientist (and then-professor)[4] who built the first electric motor in 1829.[5] 3 Albany City Hall September 4, 1972 Eagle Street at Maiden Lane
42°39′6.28″N 73°45′15.96″W / 42.6517444°N 73.7544333°WDowntown Designed by Henry Hobson Richardson in his particular Romanesque style, this 1883 structure dates to the period that is typically regarded as Richardson's architectural peak.[6] In 1927, the first municipal carillon in the US was added to the building's tower, having been financed by small donations by more than 25,000 residents.[7] 4 Albany Institute of History & Art July 12, 1976 135 Washington Ave.
42°39′20.89″N 73°45′36.52″W / 42.6558028°N 73.7601444°WWashington Avenue Founded by the merger of two separate science, and history and art societies in 1824, the Albany Institute is housed in two connected buildings. The older of the two is the Rice House, a Beaux arts-style mansion with a yellow Roman brick façade and 16th-century palazzo accents. It is the only freestanding Beaux Arts mansion in Albany. In 1907, the Institute added a similar structure for offices and collections.[8] Between 1999 and 2001, a $17.5 million capital project added an atrium to connect the original two buildings and renovated much of the older buildings.[9] 5 Albany Union Station February 18, 1971 East side of Broadway between Columbia and Steuben streets
42°39′5.18″N 73°44′57.77″W / 42.6514389°N 73.7493806°WDowntown Built during 1899–1900, this Beaux-Arts design was essential to the economic growth of Albany in the early 20th century. A symbol of progress to locals, the station also "provided an ultra-modern first impression" to visitors and potential investors.[10] The station closed in 1968 and remained so until Norstar Bank renovated the building and moved in in 1986. After several acquisitions, Norstar's parent company Bank of America moved out of the building in 2009.[11] It currently stands vacant. 6 Arbor Hill Historic District – Ten Broeck Triangle January 25, 1979; expanded September 29, 1984 Irregular pattern along Ten Broeck Street from Clinton Avenue to Livingston Avenue
42°39′25.86″N 73°45′6.98″W / 42.6571833°N 73.7519389°WArbor Hill Albany's 19th-century industrialists and merchants built stately homes in this intact 34-acre (14 ha) enclave south of the Ten Broeck Mansion. Two large churches serve as focal points.[12] A 1984 westward expansion of the district boundaries more than doubled its size.[13] 7 Benjamin Walworth Arnold House and Carriage House July 26, 1982 465 State St. and 307 Washington Ave.
42°39′30.83″N 73°46′6.83″W / 42.6585639°N 73.7685639°WWashington Avenue Stanford White's early use of the Colonial Revival style for this house of a local lumberman and financier attracted considerable notice when it was built in 1905. The two are his only buildings in Albany.[14] 8 Broadway – Livingston Avenue Historic District January 7, 1988 Broadway and Livingston Avenue
42°39′27.51″N 73°44′53.33″W / 42.6576417°N 73.7481472°WArbor Hill and North Albany The 20 buildings that surround this intersection comprise the only remaining intact 19th-century commercial-residential cluster on north Broadway. A 1900 Warren Truss railroad bridge is a contributing structure.[15] 9 Buildings at 744, 746, 748, 750 Broadway December 17, 1987 744–750 Broadway
42°39′22.74″N 73°44′55.42″W / 42.6563167°N 73.7487278°WArbor Hill These four row houses, built 1833–1870, are the only that remain of the many that once lined this section of Broadway.[16] 10 Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church February 28, 2008 715 Morris St.
42°39′53.36″N 73°47′30.91″W / 42.6648222°N 73.7919194°WPine Hills This church was notable during the development of the Pine Hills neighborhood, having served an important cultural function during the neighborhood's massive growth in the early 1900s. It is also an example of an early 20th-century Collegiate Gothic brick church.[17] 11 Cathedral of All Saints July 25, 1974 South Swan Street
42°39′16.77″N 73°45′28.07″W / 42.6546583°N 73.7577972°WDowntown Robert W. Gibson, then relatively unknown, beat out Henry Hobson Richardson in 1884 for this commission, a cathedral long sought by the wealthy families in Albany's Episcopal diocese. The most ambitious plan for an Episcopal cathedral in its time, it was never finished. The construction of the nearby Education Department building almost three decades later, where its rear would have been, made it unlikely that it ever will.[18] 12 Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception June 8, 1976 125 Eagle St.
42°38′51.73″N 73°45′35.72″W / 42.6477028°N 73.7599222°WMansion District Designed by Patrick Keeley and built in 1848-52, the Cathedral was the second to be built in New York after St. Patrick's and is an excellent example of American Gothic ecclesiastical architecture of the time. It represents the growth in power of the Catholic Church in Albany during the early and mid 1800s and currently stands in contrast with its more contemporary neighbor, the Empire State Plaza.[19] 13 Center Square/Hudson–Park Historic District March 18, 1980 Roughly bounded by Park Avenue, State, Lark and South Swan streets.
42°39′9.53″N 73°45′51.05″W / 42.6526472°N 73.7641806°WCenter Square and Hudson/Park This 27-block area west of the Empire State Plaza has a diverse collection of 19th- and early 20th-century buildings in contemporary architectural styles by both prominent and vernacular architects. Most are rowhouses, with some churches and office and industrial buildings included.[20] 14 Cherry Hill February 18, 1971 S. Pearl St. between 1st and McCarthy Aves.
42°38′5.33″N 73°45′48.61″W / 42.6348139°N 73.7635028°WSouth End Built by Colonel Philip van Rensselaer in 1768 for his wife Maria Sanders (granddaughter of Albany's first mayor Pieter Schuyler), this colonial home remained in the Van Rensselaer family for nearly two centuries. The house offers a unique opportunity to see family heirlooms that remained in the house for hundreds of years.[21] 15 Church of the Holy Innocents January 31, 1978 275 N. Pearl St.
42°39′31.83″N 73°44′53.78″W / 42.6588417°N 73.7482722°WArbor Hill An early example of the Gothic Revival style of architecture in America, this 1850 church was originally Episcopal but was most recently Russian Orthodox (for which an onion dome was added on the roof). Noted for its John Bolton-designed stained glass windows, the church was located in "the most fashionable area of Albany during the 1840s and 1850s."[22] It is currently abandoned. 16 Clinton Avenue Historic District September 1, 1988 Along Clinton Avenue from Quail to North Pearl streets
42°39′39.64″N 73°45′41.94″W / 42.6610111°N 73.76165°WArbor Hill This 1.5-mile (2.4 km) stretch of Clinton, and some side streets, has the largest concentration of 19th-century rowhouses in Albany, accounting for 92% of almost 600 buildings.[23] 17 Delaware and Hudson Railroad Company Building March 16, 1972 The Plaza on State Street
42°38′53.11″N 73°44′58.25″W / 42.6480861°N 73.7495139°WDowntown One of Albany's most distinctive landmarks, Marcus T. Reynolds' 1914 copy of the Cloth Hall tower in Ypres, Belgium,[24] is often taken by visitors to be the state capitol.[25] It and the Plaza in front were the only elements of a City Beautiful-inspired plan for downtown Albany actually built.[26] In addition to the railroad, a newspaper occupied the southern wing, built later. Today it serves as the main administration building for the State University of New York.[27] 18 Downtown Albany Historic District January 31, 1980 Bound by Broadway, State, Pine, Lodge and Columbia streets
42°39′1.63″N 73°45′7.6″W / 42.6504528°N 73.752111°WDowntown Downtown is the oldest settled area of Albany, and still retains the street plan established within its 17th-century stockade. The 13-block core of the city is home to many of its major commercial buildings, some of which are themselves listed on the Register.[28] 19 First Reformed Church January 21, 1974 56 Orange St.
42°39′12.63″N 73°45′1.81″W / 42.6535083°N 73.7505028°WDowntown The North Dutch Church was architect Philip Hooker's first major design.[29] The church's congregation was formed in 1634[29] and is noted for being the oldest Christian congregation in Upstate New York.[30] The building has been described as Albany's "most enduring landmark on [its] ever changing skyline." It is an important historical artifact from Albany's Dutch past and a rare example of Hooker's early work.[29] 20 First Trust Company Building January 18, 1973 35 State St.
42°38′56.62″N 73°45′3.25″W / 42.6490611°N 73.7509028°WDowntown Marcus T. Reynolds designed this domed Beaux Arts commercial building in 1902. Located on the corner with Broadway, it is one of downtown's several focal points.[31] 21 Fort Orange Archeological Site November 4, 1993 Junction of I-787 and U.S. routes 9 and 20
42°38′41″N 73°45′1″W / 42.64472°N 73.75028°WDowntown The first permanent Dutch fort in New Netherland was located here in 1624. Abandoned by 1676, it became the nucleus of the future city of Albany. Archeological digs in 1970 uncovered the first 17th-century European artifacts from an intact Dutch colonial site.[32] 22 James Hall Office December 8, 1976 Lincoln Park
42°38′45″N 73°46′9″W / 42.64583°N 73.76917°WSouth End A rare non-park collaboration between Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted resulted in this 1852 Italian villa-style building in Lincoln Park. It was used as office and storage space by James Hall, at one time New York's state geologist. The research he conducted here laid the foundations for modern North American paleontology.[33] 23 Harmanus Bleecker Library May 16, 1996 19 Dove St.
42°39′19.3″N 73°45′41.78″W / 42.655361°N 73.7616056°WWashington Avenue This former library is a unique example of Classical Revival architecture from the 1920s in Albany. The building is noted as being the first building used solely as a library under the Albany Public Library System and represents a landmark in the history of public education in Albany.[34] Closed in the 1970s, the building was transformed into office space in 2003.[35] 24 Hook and Ladder No. 4 March 12, 2001 Delaware Avenue
42°38′29.76″N 73°46′46.67″W / 42.6416°N 73.7796306°WDelaware Avenue Neighborhood Another notable work by Albany architect Marcus T. Reynolds, this 1912 brick structure is a rare example of early 20th century Dutch Revival architecture. As well as including a classic stepped gable, the building also features terra cotta sculptures that illustrate Albany's history; it is known as a true homage to the city's past designed by one of its life-long residents.[36] 25 Knox Street Historic District March 5, 2008 Knox Street between Madison Avenue and Morris Street
42°39′11.4″N 73°46′14.11″W / 42.653167°N 73.7705861°WPark South Five separate building campaigns by the same contractor erected the 24 brick rowhouses on these two blocks west of Washington Square in the 1870s and '80s. They are more ornate and accomplished than other such clusters in the city. One Federal style wood frame house from 1838 is also included.[37] 26 Lafayette Park Historic District November 15, 1978 Roughly bounded by State, Swan, Elk, Spruce, Chapel and Eagle streets

The diner is currently for sale. 28 Lustron Homes of Jermain Street Historic District July 29, 2009 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 Jermain Street
42°40′45.05″N 73°48′3.64″W / 42.6791806°N 73.8010111°WThe five prefabricated Lustron homes on this street are a rare surviving group reflecting the increasing suburbanization of the years after World War II. It is the largest contiguous district in the state with all homes fully intact.[40] 29 Mansion Historic District September 30, 1982 Roughly bounded by Park Avenue, Pearl, Eagle, and Hamilton streets
42°38′43.34″N 73°45′27.72″W / 42.6453722°N 73.7577°WMansion District Initially Albany's first suburban enclave, this neighborhood on the slopes below the governor's mansion was the first residence for the city's many immigrant groups during the 19th century.[41] 30 A. Mendelson and Son Company Building June 6, 2003 40 Broadway
42°38′15.66″N 73°45′13.84″W / 42.6376833°N 73.7538444°WPort of Albany Built after a 1904 fire destroyed the previous structure on the site, this is one of the few remaining intact early 20th-century industrial buildings in Albany's port area.

42°39′22.27″N 73°45′46.04″W / 42.6561861°N 73.7627889°WWashington Avenue Noted as a rare local example of Italianate architecture in an urban setting, the Merchant House is one of the few of many of this design still standing. Its large carriage house is also increasingly rare in the city. The size of the mansion, in addition to its carriage house, represent the success of the building's first owner, who was one of Albany's wealthy 19th-century merchants.[43] 32 Stephen and Harriet Myers House November 30, 2004 194 Livingston Ave.
42°39′39.78″N 73°45′15.96″W / 42.66105°N 73.7544333°WArbor Hill Architecturally notable as a rare example of mid-nineteenth-century Gothic Revival townhouse design, the building was also prominent in the history of the Underground Railroad.

It reached its present configuration in 1895, and continued pumping until 1937, with the city's water department continuing to use it as office space.[57] Now the Albany Pump House, a restaurant and brewpub,[58] that also houses the city's visitors center.[59] 44 Rapp Road Community Historic District December 27, 2002 Rapp Road
42°41′46″N 73°51′12″W / 42.69611°N 73.85333°WRapp Road and Pine Bush Originally acquired and subdivided by a local minister, this neighborhood on the city's edge is a rare example of a chain-migration African-American community started by migrants from Mississippi during the Great Migration that continues to thrive today.[38] 45 St. Andrew's Episcopal Church January 7, 2005 10 N. Main Ave.
42°39′52.66″N 73°47′17.76″W / 42.6646278°N 73.7882667°WPine Hills Architect Norman Sturgis designed this 1930 Anglo-Catholic church to reflect the values of his mentor, Ralph Adams Cram; it remains mostly intact from construction.

Many of its original Dutch Colonial structural elements survive, including the only anchor beam framing for a jambless fireplace known to exist in the U.S. The site also has archeological potential.[69] 55 Washington Avenue (Tenth Battalion) Armory March 2, 1995 195 Washington Ave.
