The Croff House Bed and Breakfast

Demolition began on the first floor with the expansion of the bathroom in Edmonds, the only bedroom on the first floor. In addition the area where the powder room will be located was also gutted, and the removal of the old radiators, radiator covers and bookshelves also began. More extensive demolition is needed on the second floor as one bathroom is added (Chase – one of two suites), one bathroom is expanded (Esselstyn – the other suite), and 2 bathrooms are reconfigured (Peck and Traver). Once the demolition is complete, which we expect to last until the end of October, we can begin work on the interior of The House starting with the installation of a heating and air-conditioning system.

The Croff House is the newest Bed and Breakfast in Hudson, New York. The House was originally the home of Hermann Esselstyn (pronounced essel-stin), a prominent lawyer in Hudson during the 1870s and was designed by G.B. Croff, from whom The Croff House gets its name. The house originally had three floors, but the third floor was destroyed by a fire many years ago. Renovations began October 6, 2008 and are planned to continue until March, 2009. The Croff House Bed and Breakfast is scheduled to welcome guests in April 2009. We will be posting updates regularly, so check back often.
