Nominated under Criterion A and C, the original Monteith Historic District included a total of 3 81 properties constructed during the period of significance, 1849- 1915. In 2000 the National Register nomination was amended to adjust the period of significance to include the years from 1915 to 1945, thus adding single- and multi- family residences constructed in the district as infill during WV/ I through the end of WWIL These resources included excellent examples of Craftsman, Bungalow, Colonial Rwival, Minimal Traditional, and DepressiorVWorld War II- Era Cottage styles. The 2000 amendment also included updated sgrvey and rating data. The 2000 amendment identified 418 resources within the original Monteith Historic District boundary. A total of 330 resources were contributing under the new period of significanc e, I 8 49 - 1 9 45 . The adjusted period of significance allows for the consideration of residential areas to the south and west of the districf that wère previously excluded because the construction dates of the resources did not fall within the period of significánce specified in the 1980 historic district nomination. Many of these properties were constructed between l91 5 and 1945, and reflect the continuing growth and development of Albany through the hrst half of the twentieth century. The purpose of this second amendment is to include the previously excluded properties that now fall within the amended period of significance for the Monteith Historic District. This ãocument also provides additional context for resources consÍucted after 1915, which was not provided in the 1980 National ñ. egister nomination. See Figure 2 for amap of the current National Register district and the proposed expansion area. The area originally known as Monteith's Southern Addition, platted by the Monteith brothers, l abuts the existing district at its southwest edge. The boundary of the expansion area includes approximately four blocks, as welias portions of an additional nine blocks within Monteith's Southern Addition plat ( Figure 8)' An additionallot located on the southeastern corner of 6th Avenue SW and Elm Street is included within the with 59 percent, chitectural styles styles. 3 Construction ' Walter and Thomas Monteith, founding fathers of Albany. The Monteith family built and owned the Magnolia Flouring Mills along the Calapooia River. The Monteiths operated a store in Albany and completed thefirst frame house in 1849. Albany's f, rrst indoor seÍnon was preached in the house, and in i 856 political leaders met there to establish the oregon Republican Party' Residents of the Monteith Disirict were mainly Republican merchants and professionals. The Monteith House is currently open as a museum' 2In200512006, a survey oittrir area was completed. In200612007, a windshield survey of the entire plat area was completed to determine its appropriateness for inclusion in the Monteith District. It was determined that the area south of l2th Avenue would be more appropriateiy seived by establishing a separate district ( Central District), Both the Albany Landmarks Advisory Commission and the orégon SHpO were supportive of expanding the existing Monteith District to include the area bounded by the original Monteith Plat. 3 See Figures 5 and 6 for Streetscape photos ofthe Expansion Area and a Streetscape photo location map' Name of Property NPS Form 10- 900- a United States Department of the lnterior National Park Service Lìnn Co..

Less than27 percent of the resources were constructed between 1947 and 1957 ' ALBANY AND THE MONTEITH DISTRICT Albany spans Linn and Benton Counties in the heart of the Willamette Valley. The city lies on the banks of the Willameite River, just below the mouth of the Calapooia River. Albany is the county seat of Linn County, which was established in 1847. Almost two decadei lat: r, Albany incorporated in 1864. Today, the city is the largest in Linn County with a population of 47 ,470, and the city limits that include an aÍea of eighteen square miles. The area that would become the City of Albany was initially settled in 1848 when Walter and Thomas Monteith arrived in the area andpurchased thô Smead claim. The two settlers platted about sixty acres near the river into lots, forming the originãl Albany town plat. The Monteiths named Albany after their hometown in New York. A few years laier, in I 150, Abner ifackleman platted seventy acres of land in the eastern part of Albany, known as Hackleman, s First Addition. Early . o--. rôiul, industr al, andresidential development occurred within the two initial land claims of the Monteiths and the Hacklemans. First Avenue between Ferry and Calapooia Streets formed the early commercial core, while most of the early industrial development was located along the river, near the commercial center. In the mid- nineteenth century, residential development in Albany was initially concentrated around the city center, with farms located further out. As the town grew, Albany developed in a radiating pattern from the city center. Albany currently includes four National Register Historic Districts: Monteith, Hackleman, Downtown Commercial, and a portion of the Albany Municipal Airport ( See Figure l6 for a map of Albany's central area Historic Districts). ' ihe Monteith districi is located in the western portion of Albany, and is composed primarily of one- and two- story wood- frame residences built between 1849 and 1945. As described in the original nomination, the architectural styles represented in the Monteith Historic District include examples of Gothic Revival, Italianate, eueen Annê, Frenih Second Empire, Stick Style, Georgian Revival, Italian Villa, and Rural Vernacular. The original district included approximátely fifty city blocks, each measuring 220 by 260 feet. The district is roughly bõunded on the north by 1nd Au" trre and the Calapooia River. The eastern boundary is Lyon Street, The boundary on the south is 9th Áu" nu" with an extension reaching to l2thAvenue between Ferry and Calapooia Streets. The western boundary is Elm Street. DEVELOPMENT OF THE EXPANSION AREA The proposed Monteith Expansion Area is a cohesive collection of early- to mid- twentieth century residential uútdinjs located south and west of the existing Monteith Historic District. The area consists of approximately four blocks, as well as portions of an additional nine blocks within Monteith's Southern Addition plat ( Figure Albany Monteith Historic District - Boundary Expansion Name of Property NPS Form 10- 900- a United States Department of the lnterior National Park Service Linn Co.. OR County and State OMB Approval No 1024- 0018 National Register of Historic Places Gontinuat¡ on Sheet Section number Page 3 g). The expansion area is roughly bounded by Elm Street on the west, 12th Avenue on the south, 9th Avenue on the north, ãnd Calapooia Street on the east, ( Èigure2). Anadditional lot is located on the southeastem corner of 6th Avenue SV/ anã Elm Street is included within the expansion area. The expansion area is laid out in a grid pattem that matches the current Monteith Historic Di blocks directly south of this area, * nirn were platte d ar alater time and are configured blocks roughly twice the length' The Monteiih Historic District and the associated exp as residents moved out from the original city core. Development closely followed transportation improvements that included streets, the strJetcar, the railroad, and the canal, and the location of important institutions. The result was the clustering of older buildings near ihese features, while later construction occurred toward the southern and eastern edges of town. Initial development and the physical layout of the neighborhood in the area were influenced by the location of schools. Constructed in 1367 on land donated by the Monteiths, the Albany Collegiate Institute was located on the southern edge of the Monteith Historic District atgthand Broadalbin. The Monteith brothers drew up the plat for Monteith, s Southern Addition ( 1872), which was designed around the existing college. a The plat included alargeblock set aside for the school, which they called College Square, bounded on the north by 9th Avenue, the eãst by Ellsworth Street, the south by 1lth Avenue, and the west by Ferry Street. The college eventually outgrew this space and moved farther southwest. A new building to house Central School was constructed on this , quu. å in 1915 ( Figure 9). A small portion of the existing Monteith Historic District is included in the eastern portion of Monteith's Southern Addition with the expansion area lying in the western portion of the plat ( Figure 8). Except for college square, Monteith's so with fifteen equal- sized 22}- footby 260- foot residential blocks thaf arc streets ( 9th- 1lth) run east to west, and named streets run north to south Washington, Ferry, Broadalbin, Ellsworth and Lyon). This layout mirrors the original Albany town plat, which is within the existing Monteith Historic District. As the city grew, developing transportation networks began to shape the city. The streetcar company constructédã regular line ¿ õwn Lyon Street beginning in 1889, which caused development of the southeastern edge of the original district, along Lyon Street from the located atgthand Lyon, s The evidence of this line's ex judged by the age and style of buildings, residential dev änd " astãrn edgés, abutting the existing district at gthAvenue to the north, Calapooia Street to the east, then a See Figures 7 and 8 for the Monteith's Southern Addition Plat ( 1S72) and Historic Plat Map, City of Albany ( 1878)' t il Fñ;;; 10, 1l and 12, which are sanborn Fire Insurance Maps from 1908 and 1925.

The Albany- Santiam Canai runs north along Vine Street through the Monteith Expansion Area and the existing Monteith Historic District, to the confluence of the Calapooia and Willamette rivers. This eighteen-mile earthen canal served as a drinking water source for both the Albany and Lebanon communities since the 1gggs, and many homes were built along its banks. The Canal has a variable width up to thirty feet and a depth from four to seven feet. In many areas tñe canal banks are overgrown with trees and brush. Concrete bridges cross the canal throughout the expansion area and the district. The canal is still a prominent neighborhood feature. Because of the long development period, the expansion area contains a wide variety of residential housing multi- family residential buildings retain a high level of e Bungalow, Craftsman' Minimal Traditional' ch styles.

Like the rest of the Monteith Histoiic District, the expansion area is flat, averaging about 218 feet above sea level, which allowed for the platting of regular- shaped lots. The street rights- of- way typically contain a planter strip with street trees, grass, and setback sidewalks. Yards are landscaped with grass lawns and a variety of ornamental trees and foundation plantings' National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page 4 u Albany city directories from as late as l94B indicate that 12lh Street remained unopened between Calapooia and Elm Streets.

Theie buildings were constructed largely as inf, rll. Minoring the ongoing growth of the Monteith Historic District in the early- and mid- twentieth century, the expansion area includes similar buildings. Within the expansion area there are thirty identified Bungalow and Craftsman houses, twenty- two DepressiorVwwll Cottage and Minimal Traditional houses, and six Colonial Revival and Tudor styles. Bungalow and Crnftsmøn Houses in Albønyg The Bungalow and Craftsman styles first appeared nationally in the early 1900s and experienced major populariÇ between 1910 and 1930. e Craftsman and Bungalow style houses began to appear in Albany just after the turn of the century, replacing the Victorian styles of the earlier era. A Bungalow can be defìned as a one- story or one- and- one- half- story structure, with a wide- eaved low- pitched roof, often with dormers that emphasize the general horizontal character of the design. Materials are typically wood and brick, with roof brackets, rafter tails, and exposed beams and pillars. Bands of multi- paned windows, applied decoration, and porches are typical design features. A Craftsman is typically one- and- one- half- to two-riori. r with hipped or gáble dormers. Pyramidal roof forms are common, as well as broad and wide eaves. The Craftsman typióally hai a prominent porch with pillars and symmetrically arrayed multi- paned windows. In Albany, Bungalow and Craftsman styles remained a prevalent building style throughout the 1930s, with fewer being tuilt as World'War II approached. Several good examples of Bungalows can be seen on the east side of the Jxpansion area, just west of Central School, such as 1136 Calapooia Street SW ( 1915) and 1 140 Calapooia Street SW ( Ig21). In Albany, Bungalows were constructed for working- class families and speculative developers. Builders even promoted " Bungalow Blocks" which were entire subdivisions of Bungalow homes that ofiered developer- sponsored hnancing. Additionally, since the Bungalow style became the dominant housing type during a period of economic prosperity in Albany, some earlier Victorian- era structures were " nouut. d io includê Bungalow- style features. For example, the houses at 539 and 630 5th Avenue SV/, and 639 5th Avenue SE include added Bungalow- style front porches. Bungalows are found throughout Albany, and specifically have been identified through Kramer's Albany Bunlalow and Craftsman Conte. r/, as well as through survey and inventory associated with the establishment of Albãny, s historic dirt. i. tr. A total of 204 Bungalows and seventy- one Craftsman houses were identified in Albany, but it is quite likely that there are many more.

The full complement of classical decorative elements werè often used and applied to symmetrical forms. The style is symmetrical and detailed with classical elements, but its verticality and massive front gable show its chronological ties to the eueen Anne, In the 1920s, Colonial Revivals found their way into catalogs in a bungalow form. Naturally slmmetrical with minimal classical detailing, they usually were side- gabled with multi- light sashes' Interest in råviving the nation's heritage at Williamsburg maintained the Colonial Revival's popularity through the 1930s' Designers in the late 1930s and 1940s used the Colonial Revival style by either applying its elements to Minimal Traditional dwellings or recreating colonial antecedents. The Cape Cod variant \¡/ as a generally smaller, one- to one- and- on.- hulf story, sidè- gabled house, three bays wide with a central entry' It often had multi- light windows, shutters, and exterior chimneys. The Williamsburg variation is basically a Cape Cod with gabled ãorrn" rr. Colonial Revivals are still being built today, although with minimal detailing. There are two iroperties that could be classified as Colonial Revival in the expansion area. They are 625 12th Avenue SW i" jgZZ) and 823 9th Avenue SW ( c. 1940). A later version of this style can be found in the Neo- Colonial residence located at72810th Avenue SV/ ( c. 1952)' In addition to revivals of early American building types, beginning in the early 1920s, there was a resurgence of the English Cottage, Tudor Revival and other related " Cottage" styles. These typically have steeply pitched partial- triangle roãflines, brick or stucco and half- timbered walls, and arched- or rounded- top doorways. A variation ofine style was the shingled imitation of a thatched roof s rolled eaves. These residences were particularly popular in the suburbs of the late 1920s through the 1940s, Two examples of this style in the àxpansion *" iur" at9061lth Avenue SW ( 1940) and 1114 V/ alnut Street SW ( 1946). Depression/ wwil cottage snd Mínímal Traditionøl Houses in Albany Depression/ World War II styles first appeared nationally in the late 1930s and experienced major popularity between 1936 and j, 945 . Inresponse to the Great Depression of the 1 93 0s, houses became less elaborate, but still favored traditional forms and influences. Minimal Traditional houses are simplified, less expensive l0 Due to the concentration, number and quality of Albany's 19th century structures associated with the Victorian period, Albany has been recognized as having one of the best collections in the State. The most dominant house types from the earlier Victorian era ( l gg0- lÞ10) are the Itaùanate and ltalianate Cottages, of which I 13 have been identified. In addition, 70 Queen Anne style houses hàve been idôntified in Albany from this period. wtlit. it ir likely that not all resources have been surveyed and additional research is required to confirm these findings, it appeárs as though Albany has more Bungalows and craftsman resources than houses from the earlier Victorian era based upon existing data' Name of Property NPS Form 10- 900- a United States Department of the lnterior National Park Service Linn Co..

During the war, there was a shortage of materials and housing' After the war and with the peaðetime economy just beginning to start up, materials remained in short supply, with demand for housing exacerbated by returning soldiers and their new families' As a response to this situation, new house, * ã.. built rapidly and with little ornamentation, often in large subdivisions' These houses were also small, corresponding to the small size of young families, but designed with future additions in mind, Because of their simplicity unã lo* cost, the Minimal Tract homes also made the dream of home ownership possible for an unprecedented number of people.

In Albany, the volumes of the DepressiorVWW e buildings aie simiiar to both the - Colonial Revival and English Cottage or Tudor types, but with even more minimal decoration, Common features could often include a large exterior chimney located along a side facade, a steeply hipped roof and sometimes a decorative or pedimented overdoor.

Ranch homes tend to maximize facade width; ' have integr ated garages; and appear to " sprawl" out, especially when placed on large lots. The Ranch thrived on the increased dependince on the automobile, as it was no longer necessary to live in proximity to bus and streetcar lines, symbolizing urban sprawl in its very form. The Ranch is characterizedby asymmetrical, one-story plans with'side entries, low- pitched roofs, and moderate overhangs. Large picture windows in the living ur" r, à". orative iron or wooden porch supports, and either wood or brick wall claddiîgarc common features. Roman brick was especially favóred. Partially- enclosed patios or courtyards were influences from early Spanish Colonial precedents. RESOURCE TYPES WITHIN THE EXPANSION AREA The distribution of historic resources in the expansion area reflects the influence of developing transportation networks and the location of important public buildings over time. Early twentieth- century styles are most common closer to downtown and historic transportation corridors, while more recent construction is usually located farther from the city center. Between 1915 and 1935, Craftsman and Bungalow styles were the predominant housing type within the expansion area. Bungalows were constructed along the northern edge, ; ong gth, 1thand Cáápooia streets as well as along Maple and Walnut streets. Bungalows can also be found alon! the north side of iOth Au" nue, which developed earlier than the south side of this street. Within the propãsed expansion area, Depression/ V/ Wll styles are found primarily in the southwestern corner of the ãriginat Monteith plat, west õf Culupooia to Elm Street, clustered along the south side of 1Oth and along I lth and, I2thAvenues. Ranch houses began to appear in the late 1940s and became the dominant housing type through the 1950s. Within the expansion area there is ten Ranch houses constructed between 1940 and 1974, locatJd primarily as infill along tñe side streets running north and south ( Maple, Walnut and Elm), with a few early examples located along 11th Avenue. Of the total seventy- eight resources that were surveyed, forty- six were found to be contributing within the period of significan".. Th" rest were found to be non- contributing or out of the period of significance. The most ðo-* on type of residential style was the Bungalow ( twenty- two) or the Craftsman ( hve) the second most coÍrmon type of residence was found to be either Depression/ WWll- Era Cottages ( fourteen) or the Minimal Traditionáìtyt. l" igttt). A good example of the Bungalow style is a house located at 910 9th Avenue SW' It is an intact, classic exãmple of the Bungalow built in 1915. The house at 813 lOth Avenue is a two- story Craftsman built in 190- q with shingled gable ends, decorative brackets, and wood and leaded glass windows. A good example of the Depression/ V/ Wll- Era Cottage is the one- story house located at 825 1 lth Avenue SVy', built in 1943. The simplè house features shingle siding and original wood windows with decorative shutters' A good example of the Minimal Traditional Style is the house located at 840 Maple Street SW, built in 1936.

Additionally, the expansion area is locally significant under Criterion C for árchitecture because of its cohesive and largely intact collection of early- twentieth century residential buildings. SUMMARY OF GENERAL HISTORIC CONTEXT: 1849- 1915 In the mid- nineteenth century, ' Walter and Thomas Monteith settled in the V/ illamette Valley, and named their new claim after their hometown in Albany, New York. Just a few years later, Abner Hackleman secured a claim just to the east of the Monteiths. Albany's early development occurred within the two land claims of the Monteiths and the Hacklemans. Agriculture was the first major industry in Albany, with wheat as the nn County from 1845 to'lgg5. l The founding of rity'r agricultural industry fortuitously coi of expansion along the West Coast, resulting in rapid ãevelopment. Residents of Albany ese trends by founding cooperativ e organizations that supported farmers locally and statewide. For example,_ Cyrus Hamlin Walker, a property o* r. i in the proposed expansion area, organized forty- three granges throughout Oregon.' Granges * oik" d to improve rivèr tiansportation and to facilitate the transport of agricultural products without costly rates for shipping. This coopeiative attitude among farmers continued, and by 1915 Linn Benton Cooperative Growers Asiociation incorporated. As the importance of agriculture grew, so did processing facilities' Canneries, and mills beganoperating in the early- twentieth century. By the mid- twentieth century the agricultural economy began to diversify. Grass seed replaced wheat as a major agricultural product' Dairy and pãultry farming also grew, as did the export of milk and poultry products. Timber- related industries also began io upp" ut in the 1860s, such as sawmills and sash, door, and furniture factories. As Albany grew so did the need for reliable sources of water and power and good transportation routes. To meet these demands, Thomas Monteith, owner of the successful Magnolia Flour Mill, conceived of a canal system as a means of enabling freight to be transported by barge over manmade waterways. The canals were completed by Chinese laborers in 187j. Due to the swiftness of the water, Monteith's idea didn't emerge as he originally conceived, but the canal system provided hydropower to the waterfront industries like the Magnolia Flour Mill. By 1880, fourteen turbines supplied power to sawmills, flourmills, a foundry, and a twine mill. The Santiam Cînalbegan at the Santiam River below Lebanon and from there ran about twelve miles to Albany north along I City of Albany.

In addition to organizing granges throughout the State, he also served as Chaplain of the State Grange and as State Deputy of the Grange. The main objective of the Grange was to ensure that farmers did not have to pay excessive piices for farm machinery and supplies and to encourage cooperative buying and selling, Albany Monteith Historic District - Boundarv Expansion Name of Property NPS Form 10- 900- a United States Department of the lnterior National Park Service Linn Co.. OR County and State OMB Approval No 1024- 0018 National Register of Historic Places Gontinuation Sheet Section number Page 2 Vine Street. Along its route, the canal provided much needed inigation water and was often used to water stock' The canal divided at 8th Avenue and Vine Street with the main branch extending north along Vine and emptying into the Calapooia River. The second branch extended eastward down 8th Avenue to a canal in ffrurston Street, and thèn northward to the V/ illamette River. This branch of the canal provided power to run the Red Crown Mill. In addition to water po\, ver, the canal supplied drinking water to Albany and in i 888 it provided power for Albany's first electric lights. Electricity, lights and phone service were provided by power generatedfrom the canal. Eventually Mountain States Power Company operated the Albany Canal from 1918 to 1954 when it was sold to Pacific Power and Light. 3 Grov and development within the Monteith District, as well as the expansion area tended to occur earlier along the canals, most likely due to the development of roads like Vine and 8th and other infrastructure built to support the construction and maintenance of the canals' Albany's successful industries drew many people to the town in the late- nineteenth century. Growth in agricuiture and related industries between 1845 and 1865 caused Albany's population to increase to 800 people' R- eflecting the town's rising importance, Albany's first college ( Albany Collegiate Institute) was established in 1 867, jusi east of where Central School is today on the southwest corner of 9th Avenue and Broadalbin Street. A growing population required more housing, By 1878, four additions were added to the original town plat: Eastern Addition, Hackleman's Addition, Hackleman's Second Addition, and Monteith's Southem Addition' By 1g80, the population had grown to 1,800. The City's most significant period of growth occurred during the néxt ten y. urr ut th. population almost doubled to 3,079. As the population grew, a significant number of residences *" r. , onrtructed in a wide variety of styles to accommodate the population's varied architectural tastes. Since many of these dwellings remain intact within the original sections of the City, Albany has been recognized as having one of the best collections of historic middle- classlworking. class rosidcntialarchitecture in the State. Along with a significant portion of the State of Oregon, Albany experienced an economic boom at the turn of the cJntury. Aftèr the Lewis and Clark Fair in 1905, the nation focused its attention on Oregon resulting in a significant increase in demand for agricultural and timber products. In 1908, the Commercial Club developed a prãmotional brochure titled: " Albany - The Hub of the Willamette Valley." As a result of this promotional òampaign to attractnew businesses and residents, both construction and population increased, with Albany growing to 4,275 citizens by 1910, In 1910, the editor of the Albany Citizen pointed out the success of the ãa- paig. r and the subsequent lack of available housing for new residents. He suggestefl the formation of a Uuitàing and loan associãtion to help finance new housing for working class residents.* Both the economic boom in etUany and the local promotional campaign resulted in an increase in the construction of new houses, especially for working class residents toward the end of the first decade of the twentieth century. t Carler & Dennis.

As time went on and transportation improved, development occurred outward toward the south and east, typically along streetcar lines. V/ ith the invention of the automobile, residents became free to locate anywhere they wished, as long as there were roads, resulting in the physical expansion of the town' The Albany Historic Context Statement has defined the period from 1 9 I 4 to 1945 as the Motor Age - F ot the purposes of understanding the development within the expansion area, as well as the infill development that ãccurred within the existing Monteith district, the Motor Age can be divided into two clear periods. The first period is from 1915- 1935. During this period, atotal of twenty- five residences were constructed in the èxpansion area, in predominantly the Bungalow or Craftsman style, but also in various " cottage" styles. Ninety-one residences were constructed as infill within the existing Monteith Historic District. The second period is from 1936- 1945. During this period, atotal of twenty- seven structures were built within the expansion area, predominantly in the Depression/ WV/ Il- Era Cottage or Minimal Traditional style, and thirty- eight were constructed as infill within the existing Monteith Historic District. Albany Comes of Age At the turn of the century, Albany experienced an economic boom after the Lewis and Clark Fair that lasted through the 1920s. During this period there was a significant increase in demand for agricultural and timber products that flowed through Albany. V/ hile the boom ended during the 1930s, both construction and population growth continuéd to occur during this time with Albany growing to 5,660 citizens by 1940. s Vtát. nmg this rise in population was a corresponding increase in the construction of new houses, especially for working- s1ass residents. Additionally, the period of 1915 through 1935 saw increased availability and use of the automobile, which impacted development patterns throughout Albany. Improved transportation allowed people to settle further away from the downtown to areas toward the south of the commercial core. In early years, people settled near the commercial center, to be close to sources of water and supplies primarily due to the lack of adequate and reliable transportation. This began to change when the railroad came to Albany in December of 1870. By 1907, an interurban line operated by the Oregon Electric Railway provided passenger service from Eugene to Portland. Branches went to Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Woodbum, and Corvallis. Within Albany, streetcars provided service beginning in 1888. By 1908- 09, the streetcar line was electrified. The streetc at ran down Lyon Street, providing convenient access to residents 5 See Figures l3 and 14 for Bird's Eye Aerial Views of Albany in 1927,1928,1929 and 1939.

While the Bungalow and Craftsman styles could be seen as early as 1905, they did not become the dominant building type in Albany until 1910 and later. T Due to the increased availability of additional transportation alternatives by 1910, Bungalows can be found throughout the City as infill within the existing Monteith Historic District and within the more recently developed northwestern and southeastern portions of the expansion area. Construction slowed throughout the'WV/ I because resources were diverted to the war effort. o Only one Bungalow house was constructed in I9l7 within the expansion area as construction slowed throughout the city. After the end of the war in 1918, there was another housing shortage in Albany, with retuming soldiers requiring homes. While no houses were constructed between 1917 and 1920, growth began again in the 1920s, as it did throughout the country. Much of the new construction in Albany was greatly affected by new transportation options. Beginning in the late 1910s, automobiles became more affordable, and the public became less reliant on the interurban rail lines and streetcars. To keep up with the demand for roads Oregon enacted a gasoline tax in 1919 to help pay for new roads around the state. The increasing reliance on the automobile eventually impacted Albany's public transportation network. Both the streetcar and Oregon Electric Service ceased by 1933 because of decreasing demánd for the service. e Changing modes of transportation led to increased development in outlying areas. Interestingly, as late as 1925 according to the Sanborn maps, fhe area south of 1Oth Avenue and east of Elm Street was open pasture and V/ alnut and Maple Streets terminated at lOth Avenue. lo The lots north of 10th Avenue developed in the 1910s primarily with houses in the Bungalow style. The lots east of Elm Street and south of 1Oth Avenue developed primarily between 1938 and 1945 and later, after the north/ south streets of Walnut and Maple were constructed providing access through to 12th Avenue. Albany's industries also grew in the early- twentieth century leading to continued development and population growth. The town atlu: acted sash, door, and furniture factories, which joined existing sawmills, canneries, and other processing plants. At the same time, an increase in the availability of credit to purchase everything from cars to houses allowed middle- class families to purchase homes, often for the first time. The town's growth led to the development of new transportation options. The Albany airport became a municipal airport in 1929.

Within the expansion area, fourteen houses were constructed between 1920 and 1930, primarily in the Bungalow or Craftsman styles. Construction slowed againduring the Great Depression, as it did around the country. One house \ Mas constructed within the expansion area between 1930 and 1934. During this time, the Federal Housing Administration ( FHA) offered modernization loans to encourage homeowners to update and improve their property. l 1 Albany and the Impact of \ ilorld War II The late 1930s and 1 940s were a period of tremendous change and growth in Albany. Along with the rest of the nation, Albany struggled in the early 1930s with a slowing economy and unemployment. V/ hile construction slowed in Albany during the Depression, it did not cease altogether. The New Deal programs initiated by Roosevelt provided work through the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Progress Administration ( V/ PA). The V/ PA improved US Highway 998 ( 99E), rerouting the highway through Albany and making 8th Avenue the new northem entrance to the City. The Linn County Courthouse, constructed by the WPA, was completed in 1937 . In the mid- 1930s construction picked up again, with eleven houses constructed between 1935 and 1940 within the Expansion Area. After the start of WWII, alarge military training base ( Camp Adair) was constructed close to Albany, jump starting Albany's economy and providing many opportunities for employment. As a result, the population boomed during the 1940s, jumping from 5,660 in 1940 to 16,200 in 1950. War- time demand for raw materials spurred another economic boom in Albany. Production was aided by local road improvements. Pacif, rc Highway ( 99E) and the Pacific Boulevard overpass were constructed in 1939. This road facilitated the growth of numerous new businesses east of the former downtown in the mid- twentieth century. The still important timber industry continued to grow in Albany and Lirìn County during this time as demand for timber and timber product exports increased. Reflecting the importance of the industry, the city's now well- known Timber Camival was first held in l94l. By 1942, thr"" billion board feet of lumber were cut annually in Linn County. r2 Reflecting these trends, construction within the expansion area increased, with fourteen houses constructed between 1940 and 1946. During this time period, a shift in tastes can be detected with a mix of Bungalows, Depression/ WV/ Il- Era Cottages and Minimal Traditional houses starting to be seen within the expansion area and as infill within the existing Monteith Historic District. This shift in taste reflects a shift in overall lifestyle brought on by necessity. Due to hard economic realities of the Depression and war- time rationing, many average American families could not afford large houses with intricate architectural detailing. Small, single-story houses, with practical floor plans devoid of ornamentation allowed middle class families to have a place of their own within the harsh economic realities brought about by the Depression. This remained the dominant ll Greater Oregon, 5 October 1934: 2 " Catl: er & Dennis. Albany, OR 1845- 1955. Historic Context Statement' 2004. p29.

The community of Wells, located along US Highway 99W north of Corvallis and west of Albany, was completely uprooted to make way for the base and never returned.

Full- scale models of European towns *" r" . onitructed in this areato assist with training - arrerrve. r'tt Due to the significant number of troops stationed nearby, as well as their families and visitors, a large number of people came to live in Albany, Beginning in 1942, the local Chamber of Commerce undertook a local campaign to promote the construction of additional housing to support local army officers and their families: " V. À, Hurley, president of the Albany Chamber of Commerce, has made an urgent appeal þr the people of Albany to open their homes for fficers and men of the U. S. Army stationed at Camp Adair. Hurley is kept husy every day locating homes or apartments for fficers and the supply of available furnished ønd unfurnished houses is about exhausted. Most of the commissioned and non- commissioned fficers have their families with them, in many cases just their wiues, but with practically all houses in the cqmp area rented they are finding it dfficutt to locate places to live. " 18 This campaign was expanded to request permission from the federal government to build hfty to one- hundred new residènces in Albany to accommodate the need: " That Albany is in need of from 50 to 100 residences and apartments of reasonable size, all of which would be readily occupied on the arrival of the military forces at Camp Adair, was definitely made known at a meeting of q group of Albany businessmen called by the Chamber of Càmmerce...

For example, the Jansen Investment Company constructed Jansen Manor at the corner of 1Oth Avenue and Walnut Street in 1943, on the west side of the expansion area. Directly to the east of Jansen Manor and across Walnut Street, a group of four duplexes were constructed during this same period. The need continued throughout the wàr, and, a 1943 newspaper article requesting bedding for returning soldiers suggested that all local hotels, rooming houses and rooms in private homes were taken, indicating the lack of available housing for the soldiers. 2O By 1944, available multiple- family housing. had increased and there were f, rve additional apartment buildings listed in the Albany teiephone directory' 2r The effect of the war- time demands on Albany is notable, especially considering the increase in the to\ Mn's population and demand for housing and services during the war years. Albany, a town ofjust around 5,000 peóple was asked to host officers, their families, and workers from Camp Adair, which had a population ten ii- ér Albany's located only ten miles to the west. Camp Adair had an average population second in size only to portland at this time. From 1942 through the end of World War II in 1945, Albany experienced a signif, rcant increase in construction, which \, vas a departure from the rest of the country. In order to preserve construction materials for the war effort, a national ' stop order' for building construction was issued in 1942limiting residential construction to homes under $ 500,22 Due to the large operation at Camp Adair and the subsequent need for housing for soldiers and support personnel to operate the Camp, it was argued that the lack of available housing in Albany was impeding the war effort. ln 1944, approval was given for Albany to construct thirty- five new homes and remodel thirty, some of which were constructed within the expansion area to meet this need. Some of the larger houses were divided into multiple units. Another fifty houses wele approved in 1945. The effect of WWII extended beyond the war years. After V/ V/ II Camp Adair was dismantled and many of the structures offered for sale. Some Albany residents took advantage of this opportunity. The house at 627 5th Avenue SW ( 1942) within the existing Monteith District is one such house, purchased and moved from the Camp to Albany. The location of the Camp so close to the city also led to a population increase at the end of the war, Many soldiers who had come to Albany to train at Camp Adair returned to stay. V/ hile Albany's population in 1940 was 5,660, it jumped to 16,200 by 1950, a 156 percent increase, Thirty- five new plats were filed during the 1940s to accommodate the signihcant increase in population." Post- l945 Economic Development and Industry In the immediate postwar years Albany continued to be an important employment center and its success was reflected in the construction of new residences, businesses, and transportation infrastructure.

By 1950, the Edwards Brothers had constructed Albany's twelfth sawmill.

In the postwar period new industries developed in Albany. The metals industry grew in part as a result of the U. S. Burea, of Min" r' research center in Albany. As a result, Albany has consequently become one of the world, s leading producers of rare metals such as zirconium and titanium.

The properties in the expansion area are set on the same rectilinear street grid and retain the residential feel of the existing district. The northern and westsrn boundaries of the expansion area, including the single additional house located on the southeastern corner of 6th Avenue SW and Elm Street, are bounded by encroaching noncontributing and out- of- period commercial development along Elm. The southern boundary of the expansion area is limited by the high number of non- contributing and out- of- period residential development. The Albany Downtown Historic District occupies several blocks immediately northeast of the Montieth Historic District, thus limiting expansion into this area. The commercial nature and diminished integrity of properties to the north, east, and southeast of the district makes these areas poor candidates for inclusion in the boundary expansion.
