What's to Become of the Old Police Station?

With the new police and courts building soon to be open, a reader asked, in a comment, what was to become of the old police building. The answer is that the City intends to sell it, along with the building next door that housed the City Court offices on the ground floor and Code Enforcement on an upper floor. 

The question prompted me to find a post published back in June 2015, just after appraisals for the two buildings, requested by the City, had been received: "How Much Are They Worth?" Twenty months later, it still makes an interesting read.

    1. I suspect whoever purchases the property will want to demolish the existing building and construct some large impressive infill building of 21st-century design that will give us and the HPC agita.

  2. Eric Galloway has always expressed interest in these properties since he discovered Hudson.

  3. New York Telephone Company. My mom would pull over and I would run inside and pay our telephone bill. We had a party line with two other neighbors on North Fifth Street. Simpler days...
