Downstairs in our restaurant we serve dinner Wednesday through Sunday, and offer contemporary American cuisine.

Hudson House of Nyack serves rich food and history
After a disgruntled fireman attempted to torch the place in the 1900s, the building became exclusively the Village Hall, hosting the town’s police department, water department, civil court, and even a few jail cells. This remained until the 1970s, when a pair of brothers opened a luncheonette in the recently emptied space. The second floor of the Hudson House creates a private setting for medium-to-large gatherings.
HUDSON HOUSE OF NYACK DINNER MENU
Windows overlook Main Street on the Judge’s end, and there are separate rest rooms for your guests’ convenience. Though Nyack is known for its wide selection of trendy bars and restaurants, there’s few spots with as rich a history, menu, and décor as the Hudson House. Take, for example, his festive spring vegetable salad, a miniature still life of young leeks, two-inch carrots, bright green peas and rosy radishes tied together with a few brush strokes of rich tarragon dressing. Or the quaintly titled “Hen Egg,” a deceptively simple tableau of smoked ricotta, scarlet-tipped lolla rossa lettuce, green and white asparagus, roasted wild mushrooms and a plump, quivering soft egg — bound with a smear of mayonnaise. Built in the 1800s, conflicting reports list 1881 or 1840 as the Main Street building’s opening year. Its upstairs originally served as the Village Hall, while a firehouse functioned on the downstairs floor.

In Massachusetts, homes sold at a median of $536,531 during January, up 1.2% from $529,924 in December. There were 3,449 recorded sales across the state during January, down 64.7% from 9,769 recorded sales in January 2023. The median home sale price used in this report represents the midway point of all the houses or units listed over the given period of time. The median offers a more accurate view of what's happening in a market than the average sale price, which would mean taking the sum of all sale prices then dividing by the number of homes sold. The following is a listing of all home transfers in Worcester County reported from April 21 to April 27. During this period, the median sale for the area was a 1,596-square-foot home on Eva Drive in Leominster that sold for $450,000.

Sixty-eight single family homes sold for $1 million or more during the month, compared to 190 recorded transactions of at least $1 million in January 2023.

Similarly, a toilet placed too close to a vanity makes a bathroom difficult to use comfortably.

Democrats put up a big vote — 174 — in favor of this bill, which was intended to sweeten the overall package for conservatives. Still, 37 “no” votes, while a break from Washington’s ironclad support for the Jewish state, fell short of the opposition bloc progressives had hoped to muster. Thirty-nine Democrats had voted “no” on Friday on the rule to allow the foreign aid package to come to the House floor, a target that progressives just missed on Saturday on the Israel bill.

The walls of any home, regardless of whether it sits on a flat lot or on a hillside, will also need to be assessed and most likely reinforced to support the additional story. Your first-floor ceiling which must now do double duty as your second story’s floor also needs added help. “This usually requires supporting beams and posts,” said Tami. Many new homes have entryways and “great rooms” with extra high ceilings. The lower floor may show the ceiling height numerically with a dashed line indicating the perimeter of the taller space. From the second floor the plans will include a note that a space does not have a floor but is “open to below,” as shown here.

The opposition to the Israel aid represented a minority of Democrats, but reflected the deep resistance to unconditional aid and the divisions in the party on Gaza.

Here, Frances Cleveland held her first White House reception, and Edith Roosevelt received guests before the Friday musicales and concerts held in the adjoining East Room. Under Thomas Jefferson, it was a dining room with a green canvas floor cloth. By 1825, under John Quincy Adams, the room had become the “Green Drawing Room,” named for the color of the draperies and upholsteries. The public also is welcomed into the public rooms to learn about the White House - its history, occupants, and collection. Despite two hundred years of disaster, discord, and remodelings, the original design of the immigrant Irish builder, James Hoban, remains intact.

A Timeline of White House Renovations Through the Years - Architectural Digest
A Timeline of White House Renovations Through the Years.
The White House was built between 1792 and 1800, and it was burnt in 1814 by the British troops during the War of 1812. After the conclusion of the war, the White House was reconstructed in the 1820s and enlarged throughout the years, including extensive interior renovations from 1949 to 1951. The Yellow Oval Space, which is at the top of the oval rooms, is often used as a study or an unofficial gathering room. In more recent times, it has been converted into a family room as well as a welcome area for important guests.
Inside The White House With President Joe Biden
Hoban was persuaded to submit a design by Washington himself, who was the judge, and of course selected it. President George Washington assisted in selecting the site, alongside city planner Pierre L’Enfant, whose project for the White House, as we saw earlier, was eventually discarded in favor or Hoban’s. The District of Columbia is located between the states of Virginia and Maryland, along the banks of the Potomac River. The U.S. Constitution has provided for it as a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress, so it is not part of any state.
The White House and grounds cover just over 18 acres (about 7.3 hectares). Before the construction of the North Portico, most public events were entered from the South Lawn, the grading and planting of which was ordered by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson also drafted a planting plan for the North Lawn that included large trees that would have mostly obscured the house from Pennsylvania Avenue. During the mid-to-late 19th century a series of ever larger greenhouses were built on the west side of the house, where the current West Wing is located. During this period, the North Lawn was planted with ornate carpet-style flowerbeds. The three-level southern façade combines Palladian and neoclassical architectural styles.
President Jefferson’s design concepts partially survive through the galleries that connect the White House residence with the east and west wings. The galleries are used for domestic purposes and do not provide additional office space. Conservatories were built on the residence’s west side in the late 19th century.

To make the study or sitting room more suited to the president’s preferences throughout the years, it was constantly updated and rearranged. Rooms off to the east of the kitchen were switched to pantry and meat storage. Before 1935, the space was used as a storage area, but it was converted into a library. Jacqueline Kennedy, the first lady, collaborated with architect Lenygon to create the Federalist-style White House Library. The enslaved and free African-American labourers, in addition to the employed Europeans, were responsible for constructing the foundation of the White House. The sandstone wall that was adorned with garlands and built just above the northern gate was originally constructed by immigrants from Scotland.
The south portico was completed in 1824.[33] At the center of the southern façade is a neoclassical projected bow of three bays. The bow is flanked by five bays, the windows of which, as on the north façade, have alternating segmented and pointed pediments at first-floor level. The bow has a ground-floor double staircase leading to an Ionic colonnaded loggia and the Truman Balcony, built in 1946.[33] The more modern third floor is hidden by a balustraded parapet and plays no part in the composition of the façade. Architect Eric Gugler more than doubled the space of what was becoming known as the “West Wing,” added a swimming pool in the west terrace for the polio-stricken president, and moved the Oval Office to the southeast corner. A new east wing was constructed in 1942, its cloakroom transformed into a movie theater. William Taft hired architect Nathan Wyeth to expand the executive wing in 1909, resulting in the formation of the Oval Office as the president’s work space.
An account of the time stated that Mrs. Lincoln never again entered the room. The Truman balcony, overlooking the south lawn and the Washington Monument, was completed in 1948. To this day, by design, the White House remains rather "two-faced," one facade more formal and angular and the other rounded and less formal. Only thirteen years after the Presidents' House was habitable, disaster struck. The White House, along with the partially built Capitol, was destroyed in 1814. According to whitehouse.gov, members of the American public can tour the White House by scheduling a visit through their member of Congress.
Micron plans to invest about $100 billion to build out a manufacturing campus in Syracuse's northern suburbs. Eve Levenson, the Biden campaign’s national youth engagement coordinator, said the physical outreach on campuses is just one part of the strategy for reaching young voters. The campaign is putting a heavy emphasis on targeting college students online through its digital program and paid advertising on major social media apps. She also said there is a major emphasis on reaching young voters who aren’t enrolled in college, both through an organizing program and by having a presence at major public gatherings like music festivals and sporting events. Ronald Reagan used Sacramento as his stepping stone to the White House and others tried.
Hoban had tried out a neoclassical design in Charleston, South Carolina, as he was finishing up the 1792 Charleston County Courthouse. Washington liked the design, so on October 13, 1792, the cornerstone was laid for the President's House in the new capital. Most of the labor was done by African Americans, some free and some enslaved. President Washington oversaw the construction, although he never got to live in the presidential house.
The elegant porticoed mansion we see today is quite different from the austere Georgian-style house designed in 1800 by Irish architect James Hoban, under the presidency of George Washington. The practice continued until 1885, when newly elected Grover Cleveland arranged for a presidential review of the troops from a grandstand in front of the White House instead of the traditional open house. President Bill Clinton briefly revived the New Year's Day open house in his first term. The White House today holds 132 rooms on six floors, the floor space totaling approximately 55,000 square feet. It has hosted longstanding traditions such as the annual Easter Egg Roll, as well as historic events like the 1987 nuclear arms treaty with Russia.
