What Used to Be

Hudson Valley historian Paul Barrett discovered this photograph in the Register-Star for March 28, 1973, and shared it with Gossips. This picture taken almost forty years ago shows some of the last remaining original buildings along North Front Street. The caption that accompanied the photo is reproduced below it.

New Skyline Growing  Work crews have blocked off North Front Street completely, have graded it and are now in the process of realigning it and putting in sewage and water lines. This scene is from Promenade Hill toward Hudson, showing Hudson's new nine story building for low income housing. (Register-Star photo by Evhan)
