Built in 1847,
632 Hudson Street began as four-story brick houses overlooking the farmland of Abingdon Square.
By 1939, it was home to the Esteve Packing Corporation, a sausage factory importing Spanish nougat, Cuban guava, and Canadian salt cod, and producing Spanish-style sausages, olives, and oils.
Decades later…
In 1992, the present owner Karen Lashinsky and her mother purchased the building, painstakingly restoring and renovating it over a period of twenty-five years.
Today…
the building is an ever-evolving labor of love, full of fantasy, romance and imagination.
Decorated with an astonishing collection of antiques and artifacts from all over the world, 632 on Hudson is not so much a venue in the usual sense of the word, but rather a private home that has been made available to share with others in the joy and beauty of their own special occasions.
