Hudson's Lost Historic District, Part II

Gossips continues with the inventory of buildings that were part of the 1970 National Register Front Street-Parade Hill-Lower Warren Street Historical District but no longer exist. Today we feature the buildings that once stood on either side of North Front Street and on Prison Alley east of Front Street. 

NORTH FRONT STREET East Side (Between Warren and Columbia Streets)

4-6  Three-story brick dwelling, five bays wide, wood lintels and storefronts, bracketed cornice.

16  Three-story wood dwelling and store, gabled roof, first story brick, four bays wide, bracketed cornice, one dormer, pent roof over storefront.

18  Three-story brick dwelling, three bays wide, steep gabled roof, flemish bond brickwork, splayed stone lintels over windows, Federal style.

20  Three-story wood dwelling, three bays wide, flat roof, modern siding.

22  Three-story wood dwelling and store, five bays wide, flat roof, bracketed wood cornice, modern siding.

NORTH FRONT STREET West Side (Between Warren and Columbia Streets)

15  Two and one-half story dwelling, four bays wide on North Front Street, three bays wide on west Prison Alley, gabled roof, wood cornice, modern siding, simple Federal Stair railing on interior.

17  Two-story brick store and dwelling, three bays wide, flat roof, first floor storefront with cornice.

Tomorrow we'll look at Promenade Hill and the buildings immediately adjacent to it, which the National Register application described as "crucial for the definition and containment of the public open space, as well as its scale."
