| Title | East Main Street #7 |
| Description | This home with Federal and Greek elements was built in 1825 for Captain Heman Oviatt (1775-1854), a Hudson pioneer and well-known citizen. Oviatt operated the first store in the territory and also was elected Hudson's first mayor in 1837. Oviatt also helped found Western Reserve College and the Congregational Church. The home was also at one time owned by Rev. Mason Grosvenor (1801-1886), pastor of the Congregational Church. In 1888 St. Mary Church purchased the home and converted it into a rectory. The home is again a private residence today. |
