NEXT MEETING: Thurs, Sept 11, 7:00pm at Barlow Community Center. Archivist Gwendolyn Mayer on The Science, Art and Slugs of Hudson, Ohio’s Alfred Pettingell.
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.
