| Title | Aurora Street #5 |
| Description | Built in 1839, 5 Aurora is the oldest commercial structure still in use today. This Federal-style building was built by Leander Starr (1804-1885) and originally housed Kent and Brewster's Dry Goods Store. In 1908 James Ellsworth (1849-1925) opened the National Bank of Hudson in this building. The movement to save this building from destruction in 1962 led to the founding of the Hudson Heritage Association. Banks have occupied this building since Ellsworth's day. |
