St. Joseph's
Church
Exceptional
Historic Quality The architectural grandeur of St. Joseph's Church is one of the most prominent features of the downtown Albany skyline, situated at the north end of the business district of the State's capital city. St. Joseph's presents a unique and exciting opportunity for investment in one of the city's most important historic landmarks. The extraordinary Gothic style building is situated near the eighteenth-century Ten Broeck Mansion, in the center of the Arbor Hill Historic District, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. St. Joseph's was
Albany's third Catholic
parish, founded
to serve the Irish population associated with the construction of the
Erie
Canal. This building was designed by Patrick Keely of Brooklyn, one of
the most prolific nineteenth-century architects in the United States,
and
was completed in 1860. For over one hundred years, it served a thriving
congregation in the Arbor Hill neighborhood.
