Hudson's Lost Historic District, Part II

Gossips continues with the inventory of buildings that were part of the 1970 National Register Front Street-Parade Hill-Lower Warren Street Historical District but no longer exist. Today we feature the buildings that once stood on either side of North Front Street and on Prison Alley east of Front Street.
