NEXT MEETING: Thurs, March 13, 7:00pm at Barlow Community Center. Gwendolyn Mayer on the history of maple sugar making in Hudson.
E. A. Osborn House

This house was built in 1876 and is typically Italianate, with a wide eave overhang, brackets, boxed cornice and long windows. The roof is low and hipped; the foundation is tooled sandstone; the entrance is through a double front door with a fanlight. A 1950s remodeling carefully preserved its architectural integrity.
Elisha A. Osborn came to Hudson in 1866 and became a prosperous businessman, manufacturing cheese boxes and butter tubs for the thriving cheese industry. His son Sheldon built a house at 20 Oviatt Street in 1883, and a house beside this one in the early 1900s.
