The historic Jackson House in the nationally designated Village of Fishkill Historic District, in the heart of New York State’s beautiful Hudson Valley Region. The building is poised for senseless demolition by greedy developers to make way for condos and redundant commercial space (amongst a number of boarded up storefronts) —- unless the developer decides to be reasonable and consider any number of creative adaptive reuse possibilities for this irreplaceable structure.

This is how the house looks on this day - March 29, 2013
