New York Court of Appeals Building
New York Court of Appeals Building, Greek Revival courthouse in Lafayette Park Historic District, Albany, United States.
The New York Court of Appeals Building features a five-bay projecting portico supported by six fluted Ionic columns topped with a copper-sheathed dome.
The structure, completed in 1842 by architect Henry Rector, initially served as State Hall before becoming the permanent home of New York's highest court in 1916.
The interior courtroom, designed by Henry Hobson Richardson in 1881, contains hand-carved oak paneling, marble details, and brass chandeliers from the original specifications.
Located at the intersection of Eagle and Pine streets, the courthouse maintains regular operating hours and offers guided tours of its historical architecture.
The building incorporates stone arches to support the ceilings instead of timber framing, representing an early attempt at fireproofing in American institutional architecture.
