These are the last days of Albany’s former Cumberland Presbyterian Church at its historic site. So if you want to refresh your memories of how it fit into the neighborhood, better take a look before it’s too late.
If everything goes according to plan, the historic former Cumberland Church in Albany will be moved on Thursday, Sept. 2.
The Albany Landmarks Commission Wednesday unanimously approved a plan to move — and thereby save — the historic Cumberland Church.
The Albany city planning staff has concluded that there’s no “prudent or feasible” alternative to the proposed move of the historic Cumberland Church. Really?
Since at least February 2014, the Albany City Council has been trying to get rid of the historic Cumberland Church it bought for $150,000 20 years ago. Now this may finally get done, but if the plan works, it’s going to cost private donors around a million dollars or more.
The old church will get its steeple back
As you would expect, the former Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Albany looks kind of stunted without its little steeple.
