The presentation will take place in the Courtroom of the Court of Appeals designed by Richardson in 1881. With its elaborate hand-carved oak paneling, furniture, and marble and Mexican onyx fireplace, the Courtroom is considered one of the finest 19th-century governmental chambers and was moved in pieces from its original location in the Capitol building.

A reception will follow the event in Albany’s City Hall, 24 Eagle St, Albany, NY 12207, another magnificent example of Richardson’s trademark “Romanesque Revival” work, built in 1883.
