is your chance to stay at Albany New York's "Best Kept Secret Hotel".
This
Townhouse Mansion at 393 State Street was the lifelong home of Alice Morgan
Wright, who resided here from 1888 until her death in 1975. The house
was designed by R.W. Gibson, the architect of the Cathedral of All Saints,
for her father, Henry Wright, who made a fortune in dry goods during the
Civil War. The multiple peaked gables and intricate interior details reflect
Gibson’s love of the Japonaise aesthetic of the 1880’s, which
presaged modern American art. Ms. Wright was among America’s most
noted figures in obtaining women’s suffrage who, after being jailed
in London with Emaline Pankhurst, returned to New York where in 1921 she
helped found the New York League of Women’s Voters. An influential
artist of the Art Deco style, Ms. Wright maintained a studio on the fourth
floor of the house, and her works can be found in museums and private
collections throughout the country.
We provide an atmosphere of warmth and coziness that traditional hotels
simply can't match. Our "customers" are truly guests, and it
shows. We will gladly help you find the best restaurants in town, point
you to the most romantic spot in the nearby park, and much more. We go
out of our way to make sure your stay provides great memories.
Short-term or long, the Morgan State House is ready to provide you with
exceptional service and accommodations. And, not only are our beds comfortable,
but our prices are as well. Convenient, comfortable and uniquely located
on Albany’s Washington Park. Step outside and the best of Albany––great
restaurants, the Capitol and a more vibrant downtown––are
just awalk away. Voted "Best in the Capital and Saratoga Regions."
The State House offers the perfect environment for the business traveler
and corporate guest. Our facility is ideal for small meetings and conferences.
We provide an atmosphere that is private, discreet and confidential. We
can arrange for larger meeting space.

to discuss your specific needs.
Alice
Morgan Wright
Born in Albany in 1881, Alice Morgan Wright was the only
child of Henry Romeyn Wright, a wealthy merchant, and Emma Jane Morgan
Wright. As a young child, Wright developed an appreciation for art; by
the time she was twelve years old, she knew she wanted to be a sculptor.
Wright attended the St. Agnes School in Albany (now The Doane Stuart School)
and then Smith College, where she graduated in 1904. After college she
moved to New York City to study sculpture at the Art Students League with
Hermon Atkins MacNeil (1866-1947) and James Earle Fraser (1876-1953).
In 1909, she won both the Gutzon Borglum and Augustus Saint-Gaudens prizes
in recognition of her work. Click for more information... Washington
Park
Albany's Washington Park, like Central Park in New York
City, was conceived by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmstead, America’s
premier landscape architects. Olmstead also created the gardens and extensive
park at Biltmore, the Vanderbilt estate in Asheville, North Carolina Development
of the park began around 1870, as the city began moving westward after
the Civil War. The curving roadways, wooded glades and vistas of lakes
and ornamental plantings are consistent with the Romantic and Esthetic
movements ideal of the natural and gardenesque. The mature plantings date
from the 1890’s when the park was under the direction of William
S. Edgerton, who for over thirty eight years continued Vaux and Olmstead’s
vision by saving old trees and constructing decorative pavilions and boathouses.
The
streets facing Washington Park provide residential architectural styles
spanning the entire late Victorian and early Modern periods, and reflect
Albany’s importance as a major industrial and financial hub during
the opulent decades following the Civil War. The city is fortunate to
have had this entire area survive into the present day. Here are houses
by internationally known architects such as Henry Hobson Richardson, Sanford
White, and R.W. Gibson, as well as the local greats Albert Fuller and
Marcus T. Reynolds.
The
Civil War Monument (Soldiers and Sailors Monument) dates from 1912 and
dominates the northern entrance to Washington Park, facing elegant "mansion
row" on State Street. Behind the large bronze figure depicting Peace,
is a procession of more than sixty life-sized figures carved in marble
in low relief. The memorial was restored in 1986, and is a popular spot
in the park, in that it connects a beautiful tree-lined pedestrian promenade
with the Moses Fountain on the parks southern end.

Lark
Street One
Block East of the The Morgan State House is the Lark Street neighborhood,
where you will find many restaurants, bars, cafes and shops, housed in
some of Albany's most historic buildings. The Lark Street Business Improvement
District and The City of Albany collaborate to host many cultural and
art events throughout the year in this 6 block district.
Every
Fall the neighborhood celebrates Lark fest, recently celebrated its 20th
year with food, music, and fun for the whole family. With an estimated
60,000 people in attendance, this event has become one of the largest
outdoor events in Upstate New York and is a great way to kick off the
fall season in Albany's exciting "village within the city".
Galleries,
Museums & Architecture Founded
in 1791, the Albany Institute of History & Art has a diverse collection
of 20,000 objects, which reflect the significance of Albany and the Upper-Hudson
Valley region in American and art history.
Galleries display many of the collection's most important objects, such
as Hudson River School landscape paintings and early Dutch limner portraits
(some of the earliest examples of portraiture in America). The museum's
major holdings also include Albany-made silver, superb examples of 18th
and 19th century New York-made furniture, sculpture, pewter, ceramics,
and various decorative arts.
As one of the oldest museums in the country (older than the Smithsonian
Institution, and the Metropolitan Museum), the Albany Institute of History
& Art possesses a rich and fascinating history. With the restoration
of all of the internal spaces, the museum building will return to the
vibrancy of its original appearance. The William Gorham Rice Building
designed as a beaux-arts residence by Richard Morris Hunt and completed
in 1895 will house a new cafe and conference area, which will connect
with the new museum shop and art sales gallery. An architecturally daring
glass atrium, three stories high with tiered balconies filled with light,
will join these two significant structures. Creating a beacon on Washington
Avenue, this space will serve as a 21st century counterpart to the 19th
and 20th century buildings it embraces.

Albany
History Albany,
the Capital of New York State has been an important crossroads for nearly
four hundred years. Albany is the oldest continually occupied city of
the original thirteen colonies. Albany became the Capital of New York
State in 1788, which further enhanced the cities commercial importance,
and gave it pre-eminence in government affairs, which it maintains to
this day.
In
1825, the Erie Canal opened at the Port of Albany. The canal, the longest
built since the Roman Empire, accelerated Albany's growth, and the city
rapidly expanded to become a leader of the Industrial Revolution. During
the American Civil War, Albany and the Capital District supplied the majority
of the armaments, uniforms and materiel used by the northern forces. After
the war, Albany helped to rebuild the South with Adirondack pine, which
was shipped down the Erie Canal and out of the Port of Albany. With the
peace in 1866, the nation entered into an era of renewed greatness and
prosperity. For the next forty years, Albany, as capital of the nations
then wealthiest and most industrialized State was transformed from a small
provincial town into a city, which reflected the new imperial attitudes
of the late nineteenth century. This incredible architectural legacy is
Albany’s inheritance, and is a delight to the visitor.

Review One
of the finest urban B&Bs you're likely to stumble upon, the elegant
and professionally run Morgan State House is really a European-style boutique
hotel. Its rooms are nothing short of extraordinary: huge and gorgeously
(and uniquely) decorated, with great 19th-century period detailing and
furnishings, and tile bathrooms with claw-foot tubs, and some of the best
down and feather bedding and linens you'll ever rest your head on. A couple
of rooms even have working fireplaces. The beautiful town house, on "Mansion
Row" just a few blocks from the Empire State Plaza and across the
street from peaceful Washington Park, was built in 1888 by the same architect
who designed the cathedral in Albany. It remained a single-family house
until 1975. The B&B's six rooms are in high demand; if none are available,
perhaps you can land one of the 10 apartments with kitchenettes at The
Washington Park State House, in a condo building a couple of doors down
at 399 State St. They have the owner's same unmistakable good taste, though
they're a touch more modern, and are ideal for business travelers. Guests
at Washington Park also have breakfast at The Morgan State House (on a
nice day, sip your coffee in the charming interior garden courtyard).
No children under 16 are accepted at either place... more

Our comforter is oversized so that it will drape over an extra thick
mattress.
The shell is our woven damask sateen stripe fabric that is 100% cotton
and 300 thread count.
It is incredibly soft to the touch. The comforter is filled with our
special premium white
goose down with a fill power of 650 cubic inches per ounce, making
our comforters among
the highest weight in the industry. Each is sewn with a box-stitch
construction to eliminate
the down shifting away from you as you sleep.

giving
you the most support you can get from a 100% down pillow. It will
not become flat
as you sleep on it. It is filled with the same down that we use in
our luxurious comforters,
and makes a fantastic pillow. The shell is our woven damask sateen
stripe fabric,
constructed of 100% 300 thread count cotton, which makes it incredibly
soft to the touch.

feather beds cradle your
body in comfort while providing ample support. We use only the finest
