“What were once banks and factories are now restored commercial and residential buildings, an impressive patchwork of colors and styles restored right down to the molded cornices, marble pilasters and stained glass windows. There are grand Queen Anne mansions with patterned roof shingles; charming Victorians with turrets and weathervanes; Italianate homes with mansard roofs and overhanging eaves.”

“Hudson was settled as a port town, and wealthy merchants began building (and furnishing) Victorian homes in the city and its surrounding area. Some three centuries later, such a history makes it ripe picking for antiques. The more recent influx of creatives, meanwhile, has increased both supply and demand. Right now, Hudson occupies a sweet spot where supply is high, prices are (for the most part) reasonable, and—a notable bonus—vendors are highly knowledgeable.”
