| Title | East Main Street #19 |
| Description | The Town-Neibel House was built in 1836 by Leander Starr (1804-1885) for Dr. Israel Town (1791-1853), one of Hudson's earliest physicians. The home was originally built in a Greek Revival style, but was extensively remodeled as a Victorian by Jacob Neibel (1853-1903) in the late 1800s. Neibel's remodel also included the removal of two wings on either side. One wing is now a smaller house at 25 Streetsboro St. and the other wing may be part of the home at 30 Church St. or 26 Streetsboro St. Around 1930, Donald B. Johnson (1889-1954) purchased the home and opened a funeral parlor in the space. The Johnson-Romito Funeral Home still operates in the Town-Neibel house today. |
