A parish outgrows it's first church and then abandons it's second location as parishioners move. It was during the 1820s and 1830s that Irish immigrants began pouring into Albany, and that South Albany was becoming increasingly Catholic. Its Gothic Revival style was popular during this period. As the Catholic population in South Albany continued to swell The first Saints Parish was no longer adequate. Having been abandoned since the 1970s, it has fallen into serious disrepair.
