Rockefeller, Nelson A. (Nelson Aldrich) (1908-1979)

Prior to his election as Governor of New York in November 1958, Nelson A. Rockefeller maintained an office at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. To separate his work as Governor from his private activities, Governor Rockefeller established an office in Manhattan at 22 West 55th Street. This became known as the New York Office, to distinguish it from the Governor's office in the state capitol building in Albany. Governor Rockefeller was the first governor to maintain a permanent office in New York City. In general, Governor Rockefeller was in Albany only when the state legislature was in session or on special occasion. The management of his public duties was largely undertaken from the New York Office.
