Hi Joy, Yes, I think this is the same North Street today as in 1876. North Albany seems to have been built up some but remains a fairly small community. I wondered why it was not expanded more to the West, South, North. It appears that golf courses were added around the city (?Township) in more recent times. Something else that surprised me about today's Albany area was that i found a town called Conroy not far from Corrallis. James de Vos' grandson was named William CONROY de Vos!! I guess he was named after the town or the famous person who the town was named after. Life is full of interesting surprises! :-) North Albany looks like a very pleasant area that would be fun to visit. Thanks for your help, Joy!

East of Rt. 32 (No. Pearl St.) and North of I90, right by the railroad tracks. Don't know if it was there in the 1800s, but it looks like the one described below.
