Buildings at 744–750 Broadway

The buildings at 744–750 Broadway in Albany, New York, United States, sometimes known as Broadway Row, are four brick row houses on the northwest corner of the intersection with Wilson Street. They were built over a period of 40 years in the 19th century, using a variety of architectural styles reflecting the times they were built in. At that time the neighborhood, known as the Fifth Ward, was undergoing rapid expansion due to the Erie Canal and the city's subsequent industrialization.Many rowhouses lined that section of Broadway during that time. Today only these four remain, following years of demolition and urban renewal. In 1987 they were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.PropertyThe Broadway-Wilson intersection is just north of downtown Albany. The four houses are opposite the Edward O'Neill Federal Building to the south. The Broadway-Livingston Avenue Historic District is one block to the north. The lots along Broadway north of this row are vacant.All four buildings share the same basic form. They are three stories tall, three bays wide with a raised basement. Their main entrances open to main hallways on the side.
