Ebenezer Emmons (1799-1863)
Emmons house, on the corner of Hudson Ave. and High St. in Albany, hosted the formative meeting of the American Association of Geologists on November 20, 1838. The Association would later evolve into the modern-day American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The house was demolished in the late 1960's to make room for the Empire State Plaza
