Built during 1899–1900, it served originally as the city's railroad station but now houses credit union offices.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) during 1971.[2] Its NRHP application asserted:
HistoryThe station received 96 trains per day during 1900 and 121 per day during World War II.[3] It was the Capital District's main railroad station until December 1968. Built primarily to serve the New York Central's passenger trains, it also hosted the services of the Delaware & Hudson. During 1968 the Albany-Rensselaer Rail Station began operation across the river in Rensselaer, serving the new merged company Penn Central Railroad, and three years later, Amtrak. {{Adjacent stations|system1=Conrail|line1=Hudson|left1=|right1=Rensselaer|note-mid1=Until 1981 |system2=New York Central Railroad |line2=Main Line|left2=Schenectady|right2=Stuyvesant |line3=Main Line|left3=West Albany|right3=Rensselaer |line4=West Shore Route|left4=|right4=Kingston |line5=West Shore Route|left5=|right5=Kenwood Junction |line6=Boston and Albany Railroad|left6=|right6=Niverville |line7=Boston and Albany Railroad|left7=|right7=Rensselaer }} During 1986 Peter Kiernan, president of Norstar Bankcorp Inc, relocated the headquarters of the Fortune 500 bank from Guilderland, New York, to Union Station in Albany, and contracted the architecture company EYP Architecture & Engineering to complete a $14.5 million renovation of the historic building.[4] This renovation of Union Station is documented in a book that also details the history of the station.[5] During construction a bottle was discovered hanging on a nail behind a plaster wall ornament; inside was a note dated August 12, 1900. Signed by "AA Johnsen. Foreman," the note mentioned the names of the workers and companies involved in the original construction. It listed the workers' wages as 45 cents per hour.[6] Kiernan then placed a new time capsule regarding this construction behind another plaster ornament on an upper floor.[6] Union Station was renamed Norstar Plaza, and when Norstar Bancorp merged with Fleet Financial Group Inc of Providence, Rhode Island, during 1988, Norstar Plaza became one of two headquarters (with Providence) of the new company.[7] Kiernan died later that year, and during 1989 the corporation renamed the building Peter D. Kiernan Plaza in his honor.[7] At the end of 1999, soon after Fleet purchased BankBoston to become FleetBoston Financial, the new company decided to spend a total of $25 million on new software, hardware, and electrical, heating, and cooling systems for the building.[8] During 2004 Bank of America bought FleetBoston and kept the building.[9] The next year, the bank sold Kiernan Plaza to American Financial Realty Trust and leased the building back.[10] During 2008 American Financial Realty Trust was bought by Gramercy Realty Corp. and during 2009 October Bank of America decided to consolidate its operations at Kiernan Plaza with others in Albany by relocating them to a State Street building also owned by Gramercy, with no job losses.[11] See also
