Monteith House

Monteith House Built in 1849 by Albany founders Thomas and Walter Monteith, come experience this immersive museum. That way each of them could sleep on his own land.

The Monteith family was instrumental in the development of Albany and with high aspirations named it after the capital of their home state: New York.
