This would also demonstrate its early significance.David Marstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805425229362358449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-60251066796102038992010-11-29T14:46:21.799-05:002010-11-29T14:46:21.799-05:00I am.

Thank you for that piece of history. Very interesting.David Marstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805425229362358449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-86332685689002752112010-11-29T14:12:58.920-05:002010-11-29T14:12:58.920-05:00Dave--You're talking about the building whose ...Dave--You're talking about the building whose west wall is still standing because it's holding up the little infill building next to it, right? <br /><br />I'm not sure about a fire, but that seems logical given what I know of the building. Just before I moved here in 1993, Jeremiah Rusconi and Bill Ebel made a valiant effort to save the building--not activism but actual stabilization. Ultimately they failed, and the building had to be demolished. It seems reasonable that they were trying to rescue it after it had been damaged by fire. It was, I've been told, one of the very early buildings in Hudson.Carole Osterinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010623982526286408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-86100466812183174002010-11-29T13:38:13.911-05:002010-11-29T13:38:13.911-05:00I didn't realize the house that stood at 126 U...I didn't realize the house that stood at 126 Union burned down after the aerial photo. Does anyone remember / know the circumstances of that loss? You can also make out the pre-Galloway portico details on the building next door.David Marstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805425229362358449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-11403734336327734302010-11-28T18:48:03.385-05:002010-11-28T18:48:03.385-05:00Chuck Hallenbeck submitted this comment:
