Why this name? Albania?

[@thishauntedsouth5369]

A very good question! The guide had a history she was reading from and it wasn't in there.

I just tried real hard to find an answer for you. Goggled and googled. Who knows 🙄 I tried!!

@@wdgbirmingham2 I asked this question because I am from Albania, a small country between Italy and Greece. This house was built in the years 1837 - 1842 and its owner was of European origin (probably German, according to the surname). The name Albania seemed strange to me because the first Albanians who immigrated to the USA belonged to the period after the 1880s. According to Wikipedia, the architectural style is Italianate Greek Revival. There are many coincidences. Thank you anyway 🙂🙂🙂
