The chapter on Plain Township in History of Franklin County [Ohio]:, published 1858 names New Albany. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.
Of religious denominations, the Methodists are perhaps, the most numerous in this township. They have a good brick meeting house, erected about 1837 or '38, in the northern part of the township, called "Plain Chapel," and a good frame meeting house in the town of New Albany, erected about 1847 or '48. The United Brethren are also tolerably numerous. They have a brick church near the center of the township, erected about the year 1836 or 37. The Albrites, German, have a good wooden church building about one mile west from Plain Chapel. The Presbyterians have a small wooden church in N.oav Albany, congregation small.
In 1826, Lorin Hills and Lester Humphrey laid out a town on the Granville road near where New Albany now is, which they called " Lafayetteville," and had the plat recorded, etc., but it never improved, and was finally vacated.

New Albany, the town this property stands in, in 14 storm reports between 2002 and 2026: 6 thunderstorm wind, 4 hail, 2 flood, 1 flash flood.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
A tornado touched down and moved through the Upper Albany West subdivision. Sixty-seven homes were damaged, sixteen of those severely and an additional eight completely destroyed. Many of the homes sustained significant roof, siding and window damage. Much of the damage was F1, with some low end F2 damage to around 120 mph.
Rocky Fork Creek came out of its banks, depositing two to three feet of water on the first floor of several of the town's buildings. Numerous homes flooded and cars were stranded in high water.

When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
