Historic Albany Character
87 Columbia Street also has a documented connection to Albany history.
Historical records identify Phebe Hoag Jones, a prominent 19th-century abolitionist, women's rights advocate, and social reformer, as a resident of the property. Jones was active in the abolition and women's rights movements and was associated with prominent reform figures including Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and William Lloyd Garrison.
Today, the residence combines that historic setting with modern updates and conveniences for everyday living.
