Summary
Report detailing the results of a Phase II site evaluation and Phase III data retrieval of two historic sites on Sheridan Avenue in Albany, NY. The research focuses on the c.1870-1930 use of two privies behind the houses in a neighborhood known in the 19th century as Sheridan Hollow, which was largely occupied by Irish immigrants and Irish-American families. The privy at the 203-209 Sheridan site was likely used by a grocery and saloon located at the corner at 203 Sheridan Avenue.
