Of Interest

Over the years, Gossips chronicled the fate of the building that once stood at 211 Warren and the evolution of its replacement as the events were happening.


Today, Chronogram retells the story in an article with a subtitle that is completely false: "Warren Street Redux: A Historic Home Gets a Renewable Renovation."

  2. How were they able to circumvent the Historic Preservation in the City of Hudson, on Warren Street? I was under the impression that everything was to be preserved to it's natural state. The rule applies to those of us on Union and Allen.

    1. The project did not "circumvent" the Historic Preservation Commission. This post from 2019 recaps what was a long process, starting in 2011: https://gossipsofrivertown.blogspot.com/2019/09/the-hpc-public-and-211-warren-street.html

    2. To learn even more of the history of this house, search "211 Warren Street" on this blog.

  4. I walked my dog in Cherry Alley for years, watching this building slowly rot and collapse from the rear. There was no visible effort to stabilize it and poison ivy grew rampant on Warren Street. I found it amusing that the company owning it was "Passive Aggressive."
