Was there a house in 1820 that burned down and was rebuilt? It's quite the mystery.

How they ended up with this date is a mystery. <br />It seems that their are two other houses that are of the same vintage at 36 Oakwood and 50 Parkwood Boulevard respectively. It would be interesting to see when these homes were built and by whom. They both look older than all other homes on the boulevards.

Indeed, the scaffolding has been there since I came to Hudson in 1985 and during the time Kim and I lived on North 5th St at Washington, I never saw any change there and none since! We drove past the other day and I said, good Lord, the scaffolding is still up. Interesting to know how old the house is and who built it.<br />Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147241257381928706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-89175150788214332582017-07-05T13:31:56.144-04:002017-07-05T13:31:56.144-04:00I believe the perpetual scaffolding is to imply wo...I believe the perpetual scaffolding is to imply work in progress and to have an effect on their tax appraisal.

I seem to recall that scaffolding on it since I moved up here in 1985 and started exploring all corners of Hudson. Wouldn't it be nice if it was an indication of work in progress today!<br /><br />Elizabeth Nylandhudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609894830470680121noreply@blogger.com
