According to the Hudson Wail, ‘the cracks in the sidewalks aren’t the flaw, they’re the story.'” — Jamie Larson, Chronogram Magazine, 9-1-2025The Hudson Sperm Oil and Candle Factory, 1841, from the front page of Rural Repository, April 10, 1841The Robert Jenkins House on Warren Street, HudsonBlast furnaces of the Hudson Iron Works.
