The Hudson House is a historic First Period house in Oxford, Massachusetts. It is a 2+1⁄2-story timber-frame house, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, central chimney, and clapboard siding. The main facade is symmetrical. with a modern central entrance in the Georgian Revival style, with sidelights and pilasters at the sides, and an entablature above. The house has a section that was probably built c. 1720 by William Hudson, one of the first English settlers of Oxford. It was probably extended from three bays to five later in the 18th century. It remained in Hudson family hands until about 1960. It is believed to be Oxford's oldest standing building*.As an added point the first meeting house in Oxford MA, still stands to this day traced back to 1713 as its build date. But the Local historic society doesn't want to recognize this as this takes away from one of their members making $ off claiming her house is oldest in town. Look up Daniel White and Benjamin White 1713-1756 range [2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
