Marker Text:
This was Albany's first stone mercantile store. It was erected in stages, combining Greek Revival and Victorian Italianate designs. In 1878, W.H. Miller built 1-story east unit, and permitted Albany Masonic Lodge to erect a second story. Local rancher J.C. Lynch in 1881 built the 2-story west unit. The "Live and Let Live" drugstore was an early tenant. L.H. Hill and family owned the property 1896-1974. Clifton Caldwell bought and restored it in 1974-75.
