Historic Resources Commission

The Commission was created in 1988 and replaced the Historic Sites Commission and Capitol Hill Architectural Review Commission.  It reviews and makes recommendations regarding new construction, alterations and demolitions in areas within or adjacent to historic districts.  The City of Albany has fifteen National Register Historic Districts that contain over 4,000 structures.
