It retains integrity of design, materials, workmanship, location and setting. It represents the high-style elegance of the period and was part of the rebuilding of Hudson after the 1894 fire.","narrative":"Built in 1895 at 76 Park Street in Hudson, Massachusetts, this 20-room Queen Anne house was designed and supervised by its first owner, Colonel Adelbert Mossman. It has a slate hip roof, a three-story conical-roofed tower, asymmetrical gabled pavilions, decorative shingling and a curving 100-foot veranda with ornate posts and latticework. Inside are carved mantels with marble trim, curved walls, sliding doors and a gas-lit stairway. Mossman, a Civil War veteran, founded and commanded Hudson's first militia in 1887 and later served the Commonwealth as assistant Adjutant General and Sergeant-At-Arms of the State House. His position purchasing building supplies for the state helped him create a showplace during Hudson's rebuilding after the devastating fire of 1894. The house faces the town green and the Assabet River, and it has had only three owners. It was listed for its association with Mossman and for its architectural distinction among Hudson's Victorian houses.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899, 1900- (specific date 1895)","architect_builder":"Colonel Adelbert Mossman","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Occupied private residence; described as remaining in largely original condition, with the original carriage house replaced by a garage in 1952.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.584151-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/7/7960/63796007/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/82001904.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001904/23f50e68f8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001904/23f50e68f8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Tim Pierce","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colonel_Adelbert_Mossman_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Tim Pierce</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:Colonel_Adelbert_Mossman_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63796007","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel_Adelbert_Mossman_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5141753"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/middlesex-county/mossman-col-adelbert-house-82001904/"}
