On April 25, 2016, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer visited Albany and urged the National Park Service (NPS) and the State Historic Preservation Office to immediately add the “Nipper” building and statue, one of Albany’s iconic properties and beloved landmarks to the National Register of Historic Places. Schumer said this historic designation is the key to unlocking vital federal Historic Tax Credits for an ambitious adaptive reuse of the “Nipper Building” at 991 Broadway. Schumer explained that this designation and tax credits would not only help transform this over 100-year-old structure into a residential and commercial gem, but it would also help protect and maintain Nipper, the 28 foot tall fiberglass white terrier that has been on top of the building since the 1950s.
