The SUNY System Administration Building, also known as the Old D&H Railroad Building, is a public office building located at the intersection of Broadway and State Street in downtown Albany, New York. The State University of New York is centrally administered from this location.
The building itself has a varied history. The design was based upon a Flemish Clothweavers' Guildhall and was originally constructed by the D&H Railroad for their lines in Albany. The structure was later converted into offices for a local newspaper, then sat dormant for a few years before being purchased by the state and finally converted to office space for SUNY.
The central tower is twelve stories high and is capped by an eight foot tall working weathervane that is a replica of Henry Hudson's Halve Maen. The southern tower's top floors are the official residence of the Chancellor of SUNY.
