Hudson Guild’s Twenty Years of Aiding Chelsea Neighbors
On New York City’s west side, Hudson Guild at 456 West 27th Street evolved from a charity model to a community led movement. Dr. John Elliott notes the shift from doing for others to empowering residents to act, showcasing co op buying, a cooperative store, Chelsea Park baths, a milk station, and The Cellar Players as results of local cooperation and faith in people. The guild now runs its affairs through a neighborhood council with representatives from clubs guiding activities, rules, and welfare.
