I think that it's ironic that the historical society of Hudson will make demands on home owners to keep the integrity of the "historic area" of Hudson but has no sense of the history of the school buildings in the "historic area". Shame.

If they keep tearing down historic buildings in the name of "progress", soon there will be nothing left of your precious historic Hudson!!

How does a town, who keeps such strict historical building codes, care so little for a historical building

As the first graduating class,1993, out of the "new" high school, we were all upset we didn't get to end our education in the "old" high school! As sad as that was, tearing down a Hudson icon would be tragic. As much as Hudson has changed since I was a child, keep a part of the history that makes Hudson historical!

Many of us have such fond memories of this High/middle school. It is a historic building and in this part of town, is amongst many other historic buildings. I feel we should keep the building and repurpose it.

Hudson's historic heritage is its most important characteristic. Please reconsider any plan that will not preserve this important landmark. Thank you

I feel VERY strongly that this should be saved -- in a similar neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, they opened up a coffee house, used the building for meetings and art shows, and converted the rooms to bed and breakfast or just bed -- which Hudson could use VERY MUCH! We only have three guest houses with very limited space. Good luck with the project and let me know if you want to do anything, including putting up a sign at the corner of East Main and E. Streetsboro, in front of the Old Church on the Green, which my husband and I own.

This is not only wrong from an historical perspective but economically wasteful. Just because you can borrow money and issued bonds doesn't mean you need to.

Class of 92', I was apart of the last class to graduate from this school, when it was the high school. So many great memories, it's iconic and should not be demolished.

Please incorporate the historic building into the new plans. This is what Hudson does best.

Please do not tear down the old high school. It's history and character are part of what makes Hudson such a special place. I grew up here and recently moved back to raise my two daughters. A large part of the reason I chose to move back was that historic charm that makes Hudson so unique. It makes me sad to see how much of that has changed in such a short time. I grew up in Hudson during the 1980s and 1990s, and graduated from the new high school in 2000. I remember so many things about Hudson's history that have already been done away with. I remember story time with Mrs O at the old Hudson library... how there were maybe ten parking spaces and we could never find one, but it didn't matter because we'd park in the village and enjoy the walk. I remember going to the post office on Main Street with my mom (in what later became a Gap and then now Suburban Sit) and parking around back and watching in awe at the giant mail bins as the workers would load the trucks. I remember the old police station and getting my fingerprints done there. I remember Saywell's and Merino's. I remember Reserve Inn and Turner's Mill. I remember the Hudson Community Playground and helping to build the playground with my family and friends. I remember the third grade building (Oviatt school) and going to Safety Town in its parking lot the summer before I started kindergarten. The list goes on. Each one of these places does not exist anymore. And for some of them, it's just the natural course of things. But for others, Hudson seems to be missing something without them. Tearing down the old high school would only further destroy the very fabric of what makes this community so special. I would imagine that some individuals on the school board have to have lived in Hudson longer than I did, so the importance of maintaining such an integral part of our town's history should go without saying. When I left Hudson, I lived in Boston for nearly eight years. And like Hudson, part of what makes Bosto

Tearing down Oviatt school was a bad decision. Do not repeat it.
