  • El New York Court of Appeals Building, oficialmente conocido como Court of Appeals Hall, está ubicado en la esquina de las calles Eagle y Pine en el centro de la ciudad de Albany, la capital del estado de Nueva York (Estados Unidos). Es un edificio de piedra de estilo neogriego construido en 1842 a partir de un diseño de Henry Rector. En 1971 fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos (RNLH). Siete años más tarde se incluyó como propiedad contributiva cuando el Distrito Histórico de se incluyó en el RNLH. Cuando se construyó, se conocía como el State Hall, y no albergaba a la corte (que se encontraba en el Capitolio del Estado) sino a sus secretarios. Además de ellos, estaban las oficinas de varios otros funcionarios del poder ejecutivo del estado. Cuatro años después de su finalización, se adoptó una nueva constitución estatal, uniendo dos jerarquías judiciales separadas en una con el Tribunal de Apelaciones como el más alto del estado. El diseño de Rector incorpora los tres órdenes clásicos en la rotonda del edificio y utiliza arcos de piedra para sostener los techos en un intento inicial de ignifugidad. Es uno de los dos únicos edificios existentes de los que se sabe que fueron diseñados por él. Otros arquitectos participaron en trabajos posteriores. Henry Hobson Richardson diseñó la sala del tribunal, ubicada originalmente en el cercano capitolio del estado en la década de 1880 y descrita por como "la mejor del mundo". supervisó una adición en la parte trasera a principios del siglo XX cuando la sala del tribunal se trasladó​ ya que había superado su espacio tradicional en el capitolio,​ llevándose consigo la sala de Richardson excepto el techo. El edificio ha pasado por otras dos renovaciones. A finales de los años 1950, se reformó y se sustituyeron los cimientos originales. Un proyecto de principios del siglo XXI eliminó la cúpula, agregó pequeñas alas en ambos lados y reformó por completo la infraestructura interna, además de restaurar gran parte de la decoración interior original.

  • The New York Court of Appeals Building, officially referred to as Court of Appeals Hall, is located at the corner of Eagle and Pine streets in central Albany, New York, United States. It is a stone Greek Revival building built in 1842 from a design by Henry Rector. In 1971 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, one of seven buildings housing a state's highest court currently so recognized. Seven years later it was included as a contributing property when the Lafayette Park Historic District was listed on the Register. When built it was known as the State Hall, housing not the court (which sat in the state capitol) but its clerks. In addition to them, it was the offices of several other officials of the state's executive branch. Four years after its completion, a new state constitution was adopted, uniting two separate court hierarchies into one with the Court of Appeals as the highest court in the state. Rector's design incorporates all three classical orders in the building's rotunda and uses stone arches to support the ceilings in an early attempt at fireproofing. It is one of only two extant buildings known to have been designed by him. Other architects were involved in later work on the building. Henry Hobson Richardson designed the courtroom, originally located in the nearby state capitol in the 1880s and described by a visiting Lord Coleridge as "the finest ... in the world". Lewis Pilcher oversaw a rear addition in the early 20th century when the courtroom was moved as it had outgrown its traditional space in the capitol, taking Richardson's courtroom along with it except for the ceiling. The building has been through two more renovations since. In the late 1950s it was refaced and the original foundation replaced. An early 21st-century project removed the cupola, added small wings on both sides and completely overhauled the building's internal infrastructure as well as restoring much of the original interior decoration.
