In January 2020, the Zoning Board of Appeals granted the area variances needed to construct a new building at 418 State Street. It was the second plan for a new structure to be proposed for the site. The house that stood there for more than a hundred years had been demolished in July 2019.

In the approval process, the ZBA was shown a model of the house to be built. Gossips published photographs of the model, which prompted a reader to suggest that the inspiration for the building's design might be Villa Figini in Milan, an example of early 20th-century rationalism, Architettura razionale, constructed in 1935.
Today, three years after the area variances were granted, the house is under construction. For those who never saw the model presented at the ZBA meeting, there's a picture on the work fence to let passers-by know what the finished product will look like.
Dandy storage unit!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I bet the design is pretty much along the lines of what the original Proprietors envisioned.
ReplyDeleteI think people who continue to comment every time Gossips brings up this building should consider the owners who have chosen to make Hudson their home. They have hired a professional to design and build them a house that they feel is beautiful and a contributing structure. Okay that you don’t embrace modern architecture or prefer new construction to replicate structures consistent with those built in 1785, but what is your point in being so rude and unwelcoming.
