| Title | Division Street #30 |
| Description | This Federal-style home was built in 1826 for Norman Baldwin (1802-1887), a successful businessman who owned a line of packet boats. Local businessman and noted abolitionist William Dawes (1799-1888) purchased the home in 1834 from Baldwin. One of Hudson's benefactors, James W. Ellsworth (1849-1925), was born and grew up in the house. The home was originally located at 35 Main St., but was moved in 1889. The Lyman Laudenslager (1861-1925) family also once resided here. They operated a livery stable during the turn of the century and witnessed the advent of automobiles in Hudson. The family business changed with the times and became a leading sales agent in the area for Mack Trucks and Dort automobiles. Laudenslager also was a special deputy sheriff and humane officer. |
