Henry D. And Juliana (Wortz) Albright House
Henry D. Albright, a carpenter, and his brother William, a mason, moved to Mount Vernon from Iowa City to work on building Cornell College. In 1853, William established a brickyard in the town, using locally sourced materials. He assisted Henry in constructing the brick house, which was completed that same year. Henry, his wife Juliana, and their family were the first residents of the house, which remained in the Albright family until 1926.
In 1926, Dr. F.F. Ebersole acquired the house and renovated it the following year to accommodate his medical practice. The two-story, side-gabled house is built from brick produced at the Albright brickyard and features locally quarried limestone. Its architectural and historical significance led to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
