Albany Monteith Historic District is a National Register of Historic Places-listed district that is named in honor of Albany town founders Walter and Thomas Monteith, who arrived in the region from New York in 1847 and completed the town's first frame house two years later. Today, the house is believed to be the most authentically-restored pioneer home in the state. It is surrounded by landmarks such as the Alfred Dawson House, also listed on the NRHP, and the beautiful Whitespires United Presbyterian Church, which is noted for its unique Carpenter Gothic design and stained-glass windows. Gorgeous historic architecture is showcased throughout the district, including Craftsman, Federal, Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne-style buildings.
