Hudson Area Library
Hudson,
Columbia County
saved
landmark status: Local, State and National Register-listed.
threat: deterioration and vacancy.
Constructed as an almshouse,
this imposing Federal style building has been used by the public
and educational institutions almost continuously since its construction
in 1818. Due to unsafe conditions, the building was vacated in
June 2004. The area school district owns the building but does
not wish to rehabilitate the library. The League can assist with
strategies for rehabilitation and fundraising, and support for
the local landmark commission and the library board, which are
committed to its preservation. This listing furthers the League’s
already extensive regional work in the Hudson Valley.
