James T. Foley United States Courthouse
James T. Foley United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse in downtown Albany, United States.
The five-story stone courthouse features Art Deco design elements, Vermont Eureka marble walls, and two light courts that allow natural illumination throughout the building.
Constructed in 1934 for $3,325,000, the building served as Albany's main post office for 60 years before being renamed after Judge James Thomas Foley in 1988.
The building's frieze displays artistic representations of postal service activities, customs duties, and judiciary missions through detailed stone carvings.
Located at 445 Broadway, the courthouse contains the United States District Court chambers, US Attorney offices, and federal law enforcement agency facilities.
Two marble eagles, carved from a seventeen-ton Vermont marble block, stand above the entrances alongside aluminum screens created by artist Benjamin Hawkins.
