After three years of planning, fundraising and remodeling, the building reopened in May of 1981 as The Old Kerr Nursery, housing three volunteer-run businesses: Albertina's Kitchen, Albertina's Heirlooms and Albertina's Jewel Box. Albertina's Closet across the parking lot was added soon after.
The Nursery housed over 100 infants and children at any given time. Now, more than 450 dedicated volunteers go in and out every month doing their part to make Albertina’s Place a continued success.
Experience this unique piece of history by visiting this historic Portland landmark and national historic building. Albertina’s Place provides a majestic, classic backdrop for an afternoon of lunch and shopping.
