Info

Union Station, also known as Albany Union Station, is a building in downtown Albany, New York on the corner of Broadway and Steuben Street. Built during 1899–1900, it originally served as the city's railroad station but now houses bank offices. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1971.
Its NRHP application asserted:

Perhaps no other building has been so important to the growth of Albany during the twentieth century as Union Station. It was designed in 1899 by Shepl[e]y, Rutan and Coolidge, the successors to the firm of H.H. Richardson and the designers of the newly completed South Station in Boston and Union Station in Springfield, Massachusetts. The construction was carried out by Norcross Brothers, who were considered to be one of the finest contractors of the period.
