Government Building

State St. and Washington Ave.

518.474.2418

Sitting majestically atop Albany's State Street hill, the New York State Capitol has served as the seat of government for New York since the 1880s. The building is a marvel of late 19th-century architectural grandeur, built by hand of solid masonry over a period of 25 years. The building recently underwent an extensive restoration to maintain and protect it for future generations of New Yorkers.

 

Walk-In Tours: Walk-in tours of the Capitol for the general public are offered Monday through Friday at 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m. No reservations are required.
