Another Item from the Daily Star

It seems that 150 years ago the days following Thanksgiving were pleasant weatherwise--so much so that it merited mention in the newspaper. On Monday, November 28, 1870, this item appeared in the Hudson Daily Star.  

The "new passenger depot" under construction was the Hudson Upper Depot, whose construction was completed in 1871.

In 1870, the Star anticipated the building would be "an ornament to that part of the city where located." Today, the building is being restored to be the centerpiece of the part of the city the Galvan Foundation has dubbed the "Depot District."
