Hudson Almshouse, also known as the Hudson Lunatic Asylum, Hudson Orphan and Relief Association, and Hudson Area Association Library, is a historic almshouse located at Hudson, Columbia County, New York. It was built about 1818, with a substantial rear addition built between about 1884 and 1889. It consists of a three-story central section with two-story flanking wings constructed of dressed limestone. Originally built as an almshouse, it subsequently served as a mental health asylum, female academy, private home, and since 1959, the local public library.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
