| Title | Elm Street #164 |
| Description | This 1889 clapboard home is an amalgamation of three sections built during three different time periods. The basement has whole tree trunks used as beams, and the foundation is made of three types of materials - brick, stone and cinder block. Adam Westfield (1849-1936) served as Hudson's cemetery sexton more than 20 years and married Mary Shannon (1853-1906) of Pipperaray, Ireland, in 1873. They were the first to occupy this home and resided there for many years. That's why the house continues to be known as the "Westfield" house. |
