1. Jackson Warehouse Marker

Inscription. T.E. Jackson, a prominent businessman from Fort Griffin (15 mi. N) built this structure in the late 1870s as a warehouse for a general merchandise store. For more than 100 years, it served the town of Albany as the site of various commercial businesses, including photography studios and a cafe. The well-known department store Sanger Bros. owned the Jackson warehouse from 1887 until 1906. The Jackson warehouse is important as a reminder of the commercial businesses that made Albany an important supply point for the West Texas cattle industry.
