Albany's nearly 102-year-old meeting spot for everything from quinceañeras to a community Grange hall is, officially, historical. A federal agency in February added Riverside Community Hall to the country's roll of buildings prioritized for preservation, part of a statewide effort to add more Oregon buildings to the National Register of Historic Places. Folks living in the swath of countryside between southwest Albany and northeast Corvallis organized in 1918 to erect a hall after women in the region pushed for construction of a building that could be the center of the community, according to a March 24 news release.
