 A 21-room Queen Anne Victorian, built in 1900 as a
  rectory, it served as a convent for the sisters of St. Mary's
  Academy. Today the house is a treasure trove of doors,
  woodwork, trim, moldings, locks, hinges, doorknobs, and
  leaded glass panels. It features beautiful parquet floors
  throughout the first and second floors, leaded glass,
  stained  glass, an imposing mahogany stairway, five
  fireplaces, pocket-doors and 10-foot ceilings. The interior
  is  spacious and welcoming; room palettes are relaxing;
  furnishings are sophisticated yet comfortable. It’s all in a
  rich architectural setting. The recent restoration of this
  Victorian jewel has left all the original details intact.
          The B & B offers comfortable accommodations
  conveniently located in historic Hudson, NY. Open year
  round, the numerous antique shops, art galleries, boutiques,
  the Hudson Opera House and fine restaurants on Warren
  Street are just two short blocks away and historic sites
  and museums are close by as are skiing, hiking, river boat
  charters, and all that Columbia County and the neighboring
  Catskill Region have to offer.
