8 Park Pl Hudson, NY 12534

The JW Edmonds Volunteer Firehouse, constructed in 1868, is available in Hudson, New York. This historic firehouse, formerly home to the oldest Volunteer Fire Company in New York State, is situated in the heart of the newly designated and rapidly growing 'Depot District'. The surrounding area includes craft breweries, wine bars, restaurants, coffee houses, and retail options. The district is also anticipating the addition of the Pocketbook hotel/art complex and the completion of the 64-unit Hudson Depot Lofts, scheduled for 2025. Located in the Hudson Historic District, the property qualifies as an Opportunity Zone and is eligible for federal and New York State Historic Preservation Tax Credits. Zoned R-3, the firehouse can be developed for commercial or residential purposes. The all-brick firehouse consists of three parcels. It features two ground-floor bays with 12-foot ceilings and overhead doors that provide a direct view of the park. Upstairs, there are two meeting rooms with 13-foot ceilings, also offering views of the 7th Street Park. Two original chestnut spiral staircases provide access to the second floor. A wooden addition is attached to the back of the firehouse, along with a lot that can accommodate parking for four cars, accessible via the alley. The reinforced steel and concrete basement, originally built to support the transition from horse-drawn carriages to heavy fire engines, enhances the structural integrity and development potential of the building. The property offers approximately 4000 square feet of buildable space, with potential for floor expansion and roof rights. The basement provides additional square footage. The building is suitable for retail, office, residential, or restaurant use.
