Constructed in approximately 1910 as an office building, a recently revealed cornerstone identifies 74 State as the former "Kinney and Woodward Building." Subsequently, the building was used as a retail furniture store (R.C. Reynolds based in Troy, NY) and by "Bond Clothes," which provided more recent identification as the "Bond Building." Since that time, it has housed various private and public offices and a small chain restaurant on the ground floor. It has been unoccupied for several years, now fully restored as an upscale hotel featuring lodging, conference and dining facilities.
