| Title | Aurora Street #21 |
| Description | This home is known locally as the Isham-Beebe House because the Isham family built the home and the Beebe family were long time occupants. It was constructed in 1832/33 by Leander Starr (1804-1885). Warren Isham (1798-1863) was the publisher of the "Hudson Observer and Telegraph" which had a circulation of 1400 in 1831. His son, Warren Parsons Isham (1831-1863), was born and raised in this home and went on to be the assistant editor of the "Chicago Times" and later was shipwrecked on Lake Superior. The Greek Revival structure has original timbers in the attic and original plaster over split lathe in some areas. The present entrance on Aurora Street was modified. During the 1850s, successful merchant and former Hudson Mayor Anson Brewster (1807-1864) bought the property and gave it to his daughter, Ellen Brewster Beebe (1836-1912), and son-in-law and Hudson Mayor David Duncan Beebe (1831-1889) as a wedding gift. Ellen was one of the original members of the Hudson Women's Christian Temperance Union, founded in 1873. Christ Church Episcopal acquired the architectural gem during the 1940s. |
