Historic Claverack Rail Station Workshop Compound

Before it was a workshop compound, before it became Stair Gallery's architectural restoration hub, 33 Maple Avenue in Claverack-Red Mills was the Claverack Rail Station, built in the 1870s when rail lines stitched Columbia County into New York’s commercial grid. The bones of that history remain intact: long, linear structures, generous ceiling heights, a surviving ticket office with original built-ins, and a former loading dock.

Set on 3.53 acres just outside the city of Hudson, interior space spans approximately 10,352 square feet across three historic buildings. Over the decades it has evolved from a working train station into a highly regarded architectural conservation and restoration atelier, housing woodworkers, craftspeople, and specialty fabrication studios. Its industrial scale made it ideal for large-format work, and the site has been maintained well, with functional utilities and systems supporting its most recent commercial life.

Because of it's utilitarian past, many of the period details were never renovated away by ephemeral fashion, so the property remains cloaked in historic texture.

The largest building offers roughly 8,000 square feet of open volume—broad bays, tall ceilings, exposed structure—space that could remain workshop, convert to studio, or become something entirely different. The smaller former ticket office retains a sense of intimacy, complete with original bench seating and counter detail. A third outbuilding has been adapted for office and private use, flexible enough for gallery space, creative work, or live-work potential.

The setting adds another dimension. Mature maple trees line the parcel, lawns roll outward, and the trace of the old rail bed curves into the landscape, creating a visual throughline to the past. It feels pastoral, yet you are minutes from Warren Street’s restaurants, galleries, and civic center.

This is not a conventional residential listing—it’s a piece of Hudson Valley infrastructure with architectural character and serious square footage, for a maker, collector, developer, or anyone interested in adaptive reuse at scale.
