We'll be sipping wine about 5:30 this Saturday afternoon because visitors to the inn will be the home owners that have just spent the entire day "showing off" their homes to hundreds if not a thousand or more Historic Home Tour goers.Every summer, Albany gets a chance to remind folks that we do boast the most in number and most varied styles of historic homes in the entire state of Oregon! We do like showing off but we really don't have to do much to get noticed. It's not unusual to look out my window and see someone stopped to look at the architectural details of our Robust Craftsman Bungalow or to see a photographer angled just perfectly to catch the details of a huge Queen Anne just around the corner with his or her camera. And it's not unusual to be mentioned in some magazine or blog that we do put on quite a show here in Albany. We do like to show off our lovelies and why not...we have so much to brag about!
We have the distinct pleasure of hosting Joan Tapper this weekend at the inn. Joan has written several books and most recently released "The Most Beautiful Villages and Towns of The Pacific Northwest!" I personally got my signed copy as a gift from our local visitors center because when Joan and her photographer Nik Wheeler were researching their book a few years ago, they stayed with us. Joan will be signing her book at the visitors center this Saturday so when you are buying your Home Tour ticket, you can purchase Joan's book and meet her as well.
Another gorgeous weekend is planned for this years' home tour and as always, we hope you can join us. Walk, drive or be taken by trolley to see and experience some of Albany's most beautiful homes. Also, join us downtown for lunch and/or dinner and see what else Albany does so well!
