History

From 1943 to 1946 Camp Algona housed nearly 10,000 prisoners, many of whom were put to work on farms owned by Americans who were fighting overseas as. As New York City saw booming immigration, it also inevitably saw a rise in the number of orphans in its asylums. The Henry Adams Building, designed by Louis Sullivan in 1913 is located at the northwest corner of East State and Moore streets. Between 1869 and 1875 the community was the location of Algona College, an institution sponsored by the Methodist Church. Algona itself welcomed nearly 100 orphans into the town, many of whom remained lifelong residents.
