The building is unremarkable – a tall white house on a one-way street in downtown Albany. It’s across the street from a small Mexican cheese shop, and just half a block east of the railroad bridge. When freight cars pass, the windows rattle like loose teeth.

From the street, the place looks clean, safe, and comfortably lived in. But a sign on the door suggests that that air of casual sanctuary is actually hard earned and carefully guarded:

“Warning! This is a drug-free household. If you try to bring drugs or alcohol into our house, you will be asked to leave. We are serious about our sobriety and will take whatever steps necessary to protect our recovery.”

Welcome to the Thurston Creek Oxford House.

The is the next installment in our "At Home" series.
