We are so excited for 2023!

-  Phase I and II Complete! 
Earlier this fall, exterior masonry work was done on the east and west walls of 48 Hudson, closing out our first Environmental Protection Fund grant from the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation for $268,000
- Roof and Façade to Undergo Transformations in 2023 
We are now embarking on our new $500,000 round of grant funding that will allow us to lower the 1728 roof back to its original Dutch pitch, and to restore the façade to its original look as an early 18th century Dutch home.

Tax Credits for 48! 
In early 2023 HAF will be holding a series of informational meetings for potential investors who would like to purchase the tax credits. 
- HSR Update
A historic structures report (HSR) provides documentary, graphic, and physical information about a property's history and existing condition.
- Dutch Cultural Exchange and Mathias Visit
 After the conclusion of our workshops, our partner at the Cultural Heritage Agency, Mathijs Witte, came to visit us at the end of October. 

Have you Donated to our Annual Appeal?

A Letter from Tony Opalka, Volunteer tour guide  

"As a tour guide, I know that while it may often look effortless, there is a lot of research and work that goes into putting together HAF’s Walkabout Wednesday summer tour series, bicycling tours, themed walking tours, First Friday Van Ostrande-Radliff House tours, members-only tours, technical workshops, bookclubs the Bender signature lecture each fall, the new Tool Library How-To Workshops, and so much more each year. Please know that Historic Albany Foundation is able to offer many of these tours for free or at a low cost to participants because of the generous support of patrons like you through our Annual Fund.

Please join me in supporting HAF’s efforts through your generous gift to this year’s Annual Fund. And, if you choose to become a monthly donor, you will be among the first to receive the brand new 2023 HAF wall calendar as our way of saying thank you!
I look forward to seeing you during the 2023 tour season – we are already planning some new and unique opportunities.
