Albany City Hall

Albany City Hall is the seat of municipal government for the city of Albany, New York, United States. Located at 24 Eagle Street at the corner of Washington Avenue, the building houses the offices of the mayor, city council, and various administrative departments. Constructed between 1880 and 1883, the structure was designed by renowned architect Henry Hobson Richardson in the Romanesque Revival style, a hallmark of his later work. The building features red sandstone and granite exteriors, a prominent clock tower, and robust, arched entryways typical of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture.

Albany City Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is part of the Downtown Albany Historic District. It stands as a significant example of 19th-century civic architecture and continues to serve its original function as the center of Albany's local government.
