| Title | North Main Street #219 |
| Description | Reuben Hine (1798-1874) built and operated a shoe shop out of this 1832 building. He later returned to his home in Connecticut. Tinsmith John Nutting Farrar (1819-1894), who owned a store across the street, purchased it in 1894. In addition to tin, Farrar also made stoves, which heated many Hudson homes at the time. A local once recalled an incident of Farrar being duped by some local boys. The boys would bring scrap metal to Farrar to receive payment and then some would steal back the same metal to receive a second payment. Civil War musician Andrew B. Brewster (1841-1898) apprenticed for a time and also boarded with Farrar. Gaylord Bishop (1824-1910), grandson of one of the original settlers of Hudson, purchased the home in 1897. The Bishop family owned the home for almost 60 years. The house has wall stenciling probably attributed to Moses Eaton, Jr. (1796-1886), the foremost American stencil artist of his time. |
