We Save Albany's Stories

We see buildings as more than bricks and mortar - they are communities, memories, and a shared history as well as architecture. Buildings and neighborhoods hold within them the stories of the people and the history that came before, and we want to keep saving those building and stories for years to come.

That’s what the #WeSaveAlbanysStories project is all about.

This ongoing project will feature stories from the public about buildings and neighborhoods that mean something to them and we are looking for contributions!

Perhaps your parents grew up on a block you drive past everyday, or you have fond memories of your childhood in an Albany Home, Maybe you remember visiting a local business that still makes you smile when you pass it….We'd love to hear your stories, you can send in via email or we can organize a quick interview (email here for more details)

. Any and all stories welcome - let's use this as an opportunity to recognize what makes us happy about where we live

If you have a story you want to share about a building/area/community/neighborhood from your past or present, please email us so we can tell you more about the project and feature your entry below.
