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 May 17, 2013.[1]

2 The Albany Academy
An ornate three-story brick building with a pedimented front section and tall gray cupola.
01971-02-18February 18, 1971 Academy Park
42°39′10.94″N 73°45′17.77″W / 42.6530389°N 73.7549361°W / 42.6530389; -73.7549361 (The Albany Academy)

Downtown 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)[5] who built the first electric motor in 1829.[6]
3 Albany City Hall
A light brown building with dark brown trim stands on a street corner; it has an arched entrance at left, a double-peaked roof, and a 200-foot tower at the closest corner.
01972-09-04September 4, 1972 Eagle Street at Maiden Lane
42°39′6.28″N 73°45′15.96″W / 42.6517444°N 73.7544333°W / 42.6517444; -73.7544333 (Albany City Hall)

Downtown 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.[7] 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.[8]
4 Albany Institute of History & Art
From left to right, a yellow brick building with a flat roof; a steel, concrete and glass connector, and another brick building with a large tree and lawn in front, seen from across a city street.
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
An ornate stone building with three tall arched entrances and a clock in the middle of the top
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.
6 Arbor Hill Historic District–Ten Broeck Triangle
A row of attached two-story houses with ornate wooden sheltered balconies on the front.
None Irregular pattern along Ten Broeck Street from Clinton Avenue to Livingston Avenue

Arbor 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.[13] A 1984 westward expansion of the district boundaries more than doubled its size.[14]
7 Benjamin Walworth Arnold House and Carriage House
A three-story brick building on a street corner seen from across the intersection. It has an entrance with columns and a white balustrade on its flat roof.
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
Several old brick buildings along the left side of a street, which descends underneath a rusted metal bridge.
01988-01-07January 7, 1988 Broadway and Livingston Avenue

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
A group of four attached three-story brick buildings with flat roofs and stoops. The two closest to the camera are tan, the third brown and the last white.
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
A brown brick building with gothic detailing, buttresses and a square tower on the front right seen from the middle of a nearby intersection.
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. It is also an example of an early-20th-century Collegiate Gothic brick church.[18]
11 Cathedral of All Saints
An L-shaped brick building with two pointed roofs and a large tree in its crook
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
A church of ornate brown stone with two tall towers in front seen from across an intersection.
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, Immaculate Conception was the second Catholic cathedral to be built in New York after St. Patrick's, third in the country and the first American Catholic building in the Neo-Gothic style. Its recently-renovated interior retains the original English stained glass windows. For the rest of the century it was the tallest building in the city.[20]
13 Center Square/Hudson–Park Historic District
An urban street with cars parked along either side. On the left is a group of ornate three-story brick rowhouses in various colors. In the background is a tall modernist office tower, with smaller versions on its flanks.

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
A two-and-a-half-story yellow wooden house with a gambrel roof seen from a corner angle amid large trees. A paved path leading to it from the camera is blocked by a chainlink fence.
01971-02-18February 18, 1971 S. Pearl St. between 1st and McCarthy Aves.

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. The house offers a unique opportunity to see family heirlooms that remained in the house for hundreds of years.[22]
15 Church of the Holy Innocents
An ivy-covered building with a pointed roof and a small green dome with a cross seen from across a street, with a car parked in front. There is a chainlink fence around it and the ground slopes downwards towards its rear. A street sign at the corner reads "Colonie" and "North Pearl".
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
A group of five three-story brick rowhouses, two and three bays wide, on an urban street. The one on the right is painted green, the three in the middle have projecting bays on the upper stories and the leftmost one is unpainted.

Downtown One of Albany's most distinctive landmarks, Marcus T. 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
A view down an urban street in a well-developed area. There are lower buildings in the foreground, including one with "B. Lodge & Co." prominently displayed on it at the left, across the intersection from the camera. In the rear are taller ones.

Downtown The North Dutch Church was architect Philip Hooker's first major design.[30] The church's congregation was formed in 1634[30] and is noted for being the oldest Christian congregation in Upstate New York.[31] 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.[30]
20 First Trust Company Building
An older, ornate stone and brick building with a small domed green top in a city. It is seen from a street that goes straight toward it, looking directly at its curved corner. There are larger, more modern buildings behind it.

South 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.[34]
23 Harmanus Bleecker Library
A two-story brick building with ornate windows and a flat roof seen from across a city street
01996-05-16May 16, 1996 19 Dove St.

Washington 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.[35] Closed in the 1970s, the building was transformed into office space in 2003.[36]
24 Hook and Ladder No. 4
An ornate brick building with two large garages in front and two corresponding stepped point sections on the roof behind a traffic signal at the intersection of Delaware Avenue and Marshall Street, seen from the far corner.
