It includes an important group of Federal period houses reflecting New England building traditions, and Warren Street's nineteenth- and early twentieth-century commercial architecture. Its public buildings, residences and industrial-related housing show the city's orderly growth over about 200 years.","narrative":"Hudson's historic district covers 139 acres of the Columbia County city, taking in its commercial core and its main residential neighborhoods. The city was planned in 1783 on a grid five streets wide and nine long, and that plan still organizes the area: commercial buildings on Warren Street, public buildings along Warren and Fourth Streets, and houses on Union and Allen Streets. The district counts 756 contributing resources dating from 1783 to 1935. Lower Union Street holds an important group of Federal period houses, including brick gambrel-roofed examples from about 1785, which reflect New England building traditions rather than Dutch ones. Warren Street's nine blocks show a century of commercial ornament from 1835 to 1935, ranging from Greek Revival and Italianate to Queen Anne and Romanesque designs. Later nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century houses, schools, churches, firehouses and railroad-related buildings add to the picture. Boundaries exclude areas heavily altered by demolition or modern construction.","period_of_significance":"1783-1935","architect_builder":"Henry S.
