Albany City Hall, Albany

Albany City Hall, Albany (must see)

Albany City Hall is the seat of government of the city of Albany. It houses the office of the mayor, the Common Council chamber, the city and traffic courts, as well as other city services. The current building was designed by Henry Hobson Richardson in his particular Romanesque style and opened in 1883. Critics consider the building to have been designed around the high point of Richardson's career. It is a rectangular, three-and-a-half-story building with a 202-foot tall tower at its southwest corner. The tower contains one of the only municipal carillons in the country. Albany's first city hall was the Stadt Huys, built by the Dutch at the intersection of Broadway and Hudson Avenue probably in the 1660s. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1972.
