The Ten Broeck Mansion is a historic house museum located in Albany. Constructed primarily between 1797-1800 for Abraham Ten Broeck, a prominent Albany merchant and mayor, it represents a significant example of Federal-style architecture. The mansion remained in the Ten Broeck family for nearly two centuries before being acquired by the Albany County Historical Association in 1942. It features original architectural details including ornate plasterwork, fireplaces, and woodwork. Today, the mansion serves as a museum showcasing domestic life during the Federal period and hosts various cultural events within its historically preserved setting. The grounds surrounding the mansion also contribute to its historical character with gardens reflecting different periods of its occupancy.
