Fort Frederick (Albany)

[2] The fort was located at the intersection of Lodge and State streets, construction began in March and concluded in June.

[2] The fort became property of the English Crown when the Duke of York and of Albany became King James II & VII.

[2] It was rebuilt as a masonry fortification 1702–35, as part of a general province-wide upgrade to forts, with 21-guns and a stockade that surrounded the entire village.

[4] Eventually the current St. Peter's Church bell tower would be built on the site of the northeastern bastion of the fort.

This marker shows the portrait of Fort Frederick by James Eights and a map of the stockaded Albany community.
