IN THE RESTORATION and modernization of Court of Appeals Hall,
formerly the old State Hall, erected in 1842, and occupied by the
Court since January 8, 1917, we have had the utmost co-operation
and the devoted services of many persons in public and private life.
We are especially grateful to Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller,
former Governor Averell Harriman, the members of our State
Legislature, the Attorney General, the State Comptroller, the
Directors of the Budget, the Superintendents of Public Works and
their staffs, the State Architect, the Appellate Division of the
Third Department, the Mayor of Albany and his Commissioners, the
consulting architects, the general contractor, the subcontractors,
and the many skilled craftsmen and co-workers.
The restoration of this 117 year old building to its original
architectural beauty, and its modernization to cope with the business
of the Court, will aid in serving the cause of justice for many years,
and Court of Appeals Hall will be a monument to which not only
the People of Albany but those of our Empire State may point
with pride.
