National Register of Historic Places listings in Albany, New York

The city of Albany with NHRP listings identified by pinpoints

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 six 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.

This National Park Service list is complete through NPS recent listings posted April 27, 2012.^[1]

4	Albany Institute of History & Art		01976-07-12July 12, 1976	135 Washington Ave. 42°39′20.89″N 73°45′36.52″W / 42.6558028°N 73.7601444°W / 42.6558028; -73.7601444 (Albany Institute of History and Art)	Washington 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.[9] 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.[10]
5	Albany Union Station		01971-02-18February 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°W / 42.6514389; -73.7493806 (Albany Union Station)	Downtown	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.[11] 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.[12] It currently stands vacant.

Two large churches serve as focal points.[13] A 1984 westward expansion of the district boundaries more than doubled its size.[14]
7	Benjamin Walworth Arnold House and Carriage House		01982-07-26July 26, 1982	465 State St. and 307 Washington Ave. 42°39′30.83″N 73°46′6.83″W / 42.6585639°N 73.7685639°W / 42.6585639; -73.7685639 (Arnold, Benjamin Walworth, House and Carriage House)	Washington 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.[15]
8	Broadway – Livingston Avenue Historic District		01988-01-07January 7, 1988	Broadway and Livingston Avenue 42°39′27.51″N 73°44′53.33″W / 42.6576417°N 73.7481472°W / 42.6576417; -73.7481472 (Broadway--Livingston Avenue Historic District)	Arbor 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.[16]
9	Buildings at 744, 746, 748, 750 Broadway		01987-12-17December 17, 1987	744–750 Broadway 42°39′22.74″N 73°44′55.42″W / 42.6563167°N 73.7487278°W / 42.6563167; -73.7487278 (Buildings at 744, 746, 748, 750 Broadway)	Arbor Hill	These four row houses, built 1833–1870, are the only that remain of the many that once lined this section of Broadway.[17]
10	Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church		02008-02-28February 28, 2008	715 Morris St. 42°39′53.36″N 73°47′30.91″W / 42.6648222°N 73.7919194°W / 42.6648222; -73.7919194 (Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church)	Pine 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.

11	Cathedral of All Saints		01974-07-25July 25, 1974	South Swan Street 42°39′16.77″N 73°45′28.07″W / 42.6546583°N 73.7577972°W / 42.6546583; -73.7577972 (Cathedral of All Saints)	Downtown	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.[19]
12	Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception		01976-06-08June 8, 1976	125 Eagle St. 42°38′51.73″N 73°45′35.72″W / 42.6477028°N 73.7599222°W / 42.6477028; -73.7599222 (Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception)	Mansion 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.[20]
13	Center Square/Hudson–Park Historic District		01980-03-18March 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°W / 42.6526472; -73.7641806 (Center Square/Hudson-Park Historic District)	Center 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.[21]
14	Cherry Hill		01971-02-18February 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°W / 42.6348139; -73.7635028 (Cherry Hill)	South 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.

15	Church of the Holy Innocents		01978-01-31January 31, 1978	275 N. Pearl St. 42°39′31.83″N 73°44′53.78″W / 42.6588417°N 73.7482722°W / 42.6588417; -73.7482722 (Church of the Holy Innocents)	Arbor 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."[23] It is currently abandoned.
16	Clinton Avenue Historic District		01988-09-01September 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°W / 42.6610111; -73.76165 (Clinton Avenue Historic District)	Arbor 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.[24]

Reynolds' 1914 copy of the Cloth Hall tower in Ypres, Belgium,[25] is often taken by visitors to be the state capitol.[26] It and the Plaza in front were the only elements of a City Beautiful-inspired plan for downtown Albany actually built.[27] 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.[28]
18	Downtown Albany Historic District		01980-01-31January 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°W / 42.6504528; -73.752111 (Downtown Albany Historic District)	Downtown	Downtown is the oldest settled area of Albany, and still retains the street plan established within its 17th-century stockade.

It is an important historical artifact from Albany's Dutch past and a rare example of Hooker's early work.[30]
20	First Trust Company Building		01973-01-18January 18, 1973	35 State St. 42°38′56.62″N 73°45′3.25″W / 42.6490611°N 73.7509028°W / 42.6490611; -73.7509028 (First Trust Company Building)	Downtown	Marcus T.

Reynolds, this 1912 brick structure is a rare example of early 20th century Dutch Revival architecture.
