About Hudson Historic District Homes
A Brief History:
The City of Hudson was originally part of Connecticut, which is reflected in the New England-style architecture preserved in its Historic District (also called the Village).
In 1632, the colony of Connecticut laid claim to a 120-mile strip of land in northeast Ohio’s territory called the Connecticut Western Reserve. Then in 1795, the colony sold the Reserve to a land syndicate of investors known as the Connecticut Land Company. A shareholder in the Reserve named David Hudson, traveled from Goshen, Connecticut in the spring of 1799 with a party of surveyors to examine the land that would eventually become Hudson Township. On May 28, 1800, he returned with his family and more settlers. The town was named “Hudson” in honor of its founder, who remained a resident until his death in 1836.
Architectural Styles:
In 1806, seven years after settling in Hudson, David Hudson moved his family from their temporary log cabin into their permanent Federal-style home. Early on, the Hudson residence also served as the town’s first post office (with David Hudson as its postmaster), town hall, and an inn for travelers . Six generations of the family occupied the home until Western Reserve Academy took ownership (source: Summit Memory).
The Hudson family home still survives to this day. Located at 318 Main Street, it is considered the oldest standing frame house, not only in Hudson, but in all of Summit County.
New England emigrants who initially settled in Hudson erected homes that replicated architectural styles popular in America’s Northeast, including Federal and Greek Revival designs.
Other notable designs include Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, farmhouse, and Italianate, as pictured below.
The City of Hudson takes immense pride in its historic downtown district and the wealth of preserved historic homes reflecting its New England heritage. Properties displaying a white ”HHA” placard. have been researched and authenticated by Hudson Heritage Association and may be noteworthy for their architecture, past ownership, or the activities that took place within them. Among them are homes once owned by prominent abolitionists or agents of the Underground Railroad. Many Historic District homes are also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Common features found in these historic homes include foyers with high ceilings and staircases, numerous wood-burning fireplaces, mitered wood flooring, solid wood doors, detailed cast bronze doorknobs and hinges, leaded glass windows, window and door trim, intricate moldings, built-ins, walk-up attics, covered porches, and flagstone or paver patios.
Over the years, these charming homes have undergone renovations and/or additions to add modern conveniences.
In general, these homesites have relatively shallow setbacks and yard depths, with lot sizes generally less than 30,000 square feet. Most garages are detached, often repurposing barns into parking spaces.
The Hudson Historic District neighborhood encompasses the streets surrounding the downtown area (the zoning map below indicates the Village Core District in red, and the Historic Residential neighborhood in purple). However, historic homes are also found beyond these boundaries.
Living in Hudson Historic District offers a rare blend of architectural charm, walkable community life, and enduring property values. From a real estate perspective, it’s one of Northeast Ohio’s most desirable areas for buyers who appreciate heritage, character, and a vibrant small-town atmosphere.
