The Albany Pump Station, originally the Quackenbush Pumping Station of the Albany Water Works, is located in Quackenbush Square on Broadway in the city of Albany, New York, United States. It is a large brick building constructed in the 1870s and expanded later in the century.
The station was built to pump municipal water from the nearby Hudson River, and it continued to be used for that purpose for 60 years. In 1983, the station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The station has been partly converted into a popular local restaurant and brewpub, a reuse that drew an award from the Preservation League of New York State. Another area of the building serves as the city of Albany's visitor center.
