When the Great Depression did finally come with the 1929 stock market crash, Corning's preparations proved prudent. Albany Felt recovered quickly, and not only continued to be profitable but even grew.

A boardroom, whose original woodwork remains, was also created in the first floor of the administrative wing, with the bay window added on the north facade.
