The Restoration Continues

Gossips has been monitoring the restoration of the 1856 former Gifford Foundry building at 724 Columbia Street for a few months now. 


In January, the metal siding came off.

In March, the stucco was removed to expose the brick.

  1. Next, restore the large windows -- complete the restoration. it is hard to believe how much has been lost here in Hudson.

    It is good to see this progress.

  2. Who's doing the work and what are they planning for the building's use?

    1. The building is owned by Galvan, so presumably Galvan Partners, the Galvan for-profit construction crew, is doing the work. At one point, it seemed this part of the building was to be part of Return Brewing, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

  3. I believe there used to be solar panels on the roof.
