The interior has the most amazing tile floors with tin sheathed walls and ceilings. Someone should do a book on the tinwork still found in Hudson. Some amazing examples have been lost since Hudsons renaissance began.
ReplyDeleteI had the pleasure of sitting next to a lovely woman from Florida at Tanglewood one evening who told me that her grandfather Abraham Elias installed most or all of the sheet metal walls and ceilings in Hudson and Columbia County during the 1920s.
