"19TH CENTURY HUDSON VALLEY VICTORIAN MANSION"
The house and all the rooms are filled with period antiques, the front parlor has a TV/VCR and a very cozy fireplace. There is also a second floor setting area with TV, VCR & a vast video library. The paperback book library offers a wide variety of bedside reading material. Hudson is now one of the largest antique centers on the East coast. The town has a charm that will take you back the early19th century. Hudson is one of the best preserved representations of last 1700's,early 1800's architecture. The best way to enjoy the town is to leave the car behind and walk. We will surely keep you busy visiting the great Hudson River mansions, "Olana," the home of Frederick Church is just three miles down the road. Other homes that might be enjoyed are the Vanderbilt's, Roosevelt's and the Livingston Mansions (Montgomery Place and Clermont). With the world class antiquing, the Great American Castles, the state parks and museums, your time in Hudson with be great fun. You'll love our front porch and the meditation garden in the back yard. The Second Empire house was built by Joshua T. Waterman in 1865. Mr. Waterman was born in Historic Hudson in 1807. His family was originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He was connected with the business affairs of the Hudson Branch of the Hudson and Albany railroads and also served as the Mayor of Hudson for four consecutive terms beginning in 1853. Joshua and his wife, Jeanette Ten Eyck had twelve children... a fact that makes this grand and spacious house, with three stories and a tower, seem not so spacious after all.
