Evans.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house reflects the achievements of the Evans family, whose brewery was one of Hudson's major 19th-century industries. It is also presented as a well-preserved example of a mansard-roofed, towered style seen in small industrial cities, and as a landmark in a downtown whose other buildings have been largely modernized.","narrative":"Built in 1861 on Hudson's main commercial street, this brick and sandstone house has a mansard roof, a five-bay front and a three-story tower topped with a pyramidal roof. Inside, a central hall holds the original staircase and paneled wainscoting, while scrolled archways, ornate white marble mantels, stained glass and embossed leather-style wallpaper survive. The house was built by Cornelius H. Evans, whose family ran a brewery in Hudson that grew into one of the city's major nineteenth-century industries. Evans served as mayor in the 1870s and expanded the business with a bottling works in 1889. Prohibition closed the company in 1920. The house later served as a community center from 1946 until 1970. Its mansard roof and tower follow a fashion popularized by architect James Renwick and adopted by wealthy businessmen in small industrial cities. Surrounded by modernized commercial storefronts, it remains a largely unaltered landmark of mid-nineteenth-century Hudson.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1861)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mansard-roofed house with pyramidal-roofed tower, a style the form links to James Renwick's work of 1859-1860","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition and described as largely unaltered; it was used as a community center from 1946 to 1970, then briefly as a private residence, and the form lists present use as a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:38.958023-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/74001226.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74001226/6fff8d9e7b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74001226/6fff8d9e7b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cornelius_Evans_House,_Hudson,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cornelius_Evans_House,_Hudson,_NY.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"85003363","name":"Hudson Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/hudson-historic-district-85003363/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316996","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_H._Evans_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5171374"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/columbia-county/evans-cornelius-h-house-74001226/"}
