in hudson have long and often varied histories few so varied as that of 29 north third street in 1905 it was a grocery store a cash market one of two locations of waltermire whiteman the second location was at columbia street and park place given the design of the building it s likely it didn t start out as a commercial space photo illustrated hudson n y 1905 at some point the building was divided up into rental apartments and it remained so for quite a while during that time the condition of the building deteriorated this is how the building appeared in 2012 today the building has been restored as a single family residence which is likely how it started its life and is now for sale with an asking price of 825 000 it s too bad the entrance door and the size and placement of the windows couldn t have been returned to what they likely were at the beginning copyright 2026 carole osterink posted by carole osterink at 1 48 pm 3 comments an exhibition worthy of attention in this the nation s semiquincentennial year there is an exhibition at circle 46 gallery that explores the history that led up to the declaration of independence in 1776 from glorious revolution toward independence america s forgotten first revolution eighty seven years before the declaration of independence another revolution reshaped the american colonies when in 1689 the glorious revolution replaced roman catholic king james ii with his daughter mary ii and her husband the protestant dutch william iii on england s throne as a result of the revolution in england the american colonies rose up with demands for securing individual rights no taxation without representation and trial by jury of one s peers demands that would be echoed in 1776 drawing from the jacob leisler institute s collections the exhibition on the glorious revolution in america places special emphasis on the new york revolt popularly known as leisler s rebellion of 1689 1691 the exhibit reveals that history is complicated many faceted and messy and suggests how fragile our liberties are today how easily they can be eroded and that we must remain vigilant in order to maintain them the exhibition currently on display at circle 46 gallery 46 green street continues through saturday september 12 it is open from 1 00 to 5 00 p m wednesdays through saturdays posted by carole osterink at 12 21 pm 1 comment saturday august 22 2026 eye on the street a reader spotted a stop work order at 123 union street a house owned by eric galloway galvan since 2010 the tax roll lists the current owner as civis holding co a new galloway llc civis is the name being used for galloway s work in savannah the stop work order which was issued yesterday cites a violation of hudson city code 169 12 chapter 169 is the historic preservation ordinance section 169 12 relates to enforcement and reads as follows all work performed pursuant to a certificate of appropriateness issued under this chapter shall conform to any requirements included therein it shall be the duty of the building code enforcement officer to inspect periodically any such work to assure compliance in the event work is found that is not being performed in accordance with the certificate of appropriateness or upon notification of such fact by the historic preservation commission the building code enforcement officer shall issue a stop work order and all work shall immediately cease no further work shall be undertaken on the project as long as a stop work order is in effect it is not known what the specific issue is that prompted the stop work order the project went through an extensive review at the beginning of 2025 the primary focus of that review was the proposed new accessory building behind the house on partition street which started out as a replica of the main house but evolved into a structure the hpc could approve there were some changes proposed for the historic house on the west facade and at the back of the building the hpc meets this coming friday august 28 more information about the stop work order will no doubt be provided then in the meantime kudos to nick fox our new code enforcement officer for enforcing the preservation ordinance copyright 2026 carole osterink posted by carole osterink at 6 20 pm no comments friday august 21 2026 eight years ago in hudson in february 2018 gossips did a post about this house at 94 north fifth street which was then on the market for 139 900 take the restoration challenge the post explored the history of the house and shared information about its original owner leonard geiger a celebrated marble cutter who was born in bavaria in 1830 in a subsequent post gossips followed up with more information about geiger and his family today the house at 94 north fifth street was featured in brownstoner a stonecutter s hudson italianate house with scrollwork yours for 1 995 million the description of the house in brownstoner also includes information about leonard geiger it is interesting to read and compare the two accounts gossips and brownstoner particularly since both include pictures of the interior of the house more understandably in brownstoner than in gossips copyright 2026 carole osterink posted by carole osterink at 9 46 pm no comments who cares for the trees the conservation advisory council declared 2020 the year of the tree in 2022 the cac launched its tree planting program and adopted the motto keep hudson shady in that year too the tree inventory community forest management plan funded by an urban forestry grant secured by the cac was released every year the cac plants more trees in hudson requiring people who request a tree to commit to caring for that tree but who cares for the trees that have been in place for decades yesterday tom d onofrio took a walk up warren street from front street he told gossips he was shocked to see just how many dead or diseased trees line our main street and provided these pictures we can all agree that trees on hudson s main street and elsewhere throughout the city contribute significantly to the livability of our city they cool the streets they trap pollution and give out oxygen they soak up rain water they make people feel calm they enhance the appearance of our streets given all the advantages trees bring to the community we should be able as a community to figure out a way to provide better care for the trees that benefit us all copyright 2026 carole osterink posted by carole osterink at 3 33 pm 7 comments a comment on comments this post is specifically for the people commenting as new resident and gossips queen really in the past i have been tolerant of people using pseudonyms to comment on the gossips of rivertown people have their own reasons for wanting to keep

not knowing that for this reason i have published some of your initial comments but i will not be doing that in the future please comment using your real name if you feel you must use a pseudonym
