| Title | Owen Brown Street #32 |
| Description | This 1854 home was built by carriage-factory owner David Hurn (1803-1870) as income property and, as such, the home lacks adornment or fancy detailing. The window casings are very similar to the other Hurn houses in town. The house remained much the same as it passed from owner to owner until 1977, when an additional wing was added in the rear of the house. Henry Bliss (1832-1899), who bought the house in 1867, was a German immigrant who came to Hudson from the South at the outbreak of the Civil War because he did not desire to fight against the Union forces. |
