The original settlement area of Albany, which is bound on the north by the Willamette River, Thurston Street on the east, Pacific Boulevard on the south and Elm Street on the west contains a large concentration of historic buildings (400). These houses, commercial buildings, schools and churches are clues to this history of a prosperous Oregon river town community.

Reflected in Albany’s Historic architecture is a sense of the past, and those who are interested in history and architecture can use the buildings that remain to step back to the 1840s and travel forward to the 1980s and take a tour of Oregon’s built environment.
