It remains one of very few in town and is described as an excellent example of the style. The Keeper's amendment limits the period of significance to 1917.","narrative":"Built in 1917 at the corner of College and High Streets in Hudson, Ohio, this two-and-a-half story house was designed by Cleveland-area architect John William Creswell Corbusier as his own home. He lived there until his death in 1928. The house has a steeply pitched hip roof with twin-gabled dormers, a prominent gable over a recessed entry, and a stuccoed, half-timbered second story that overhangs a brick first floor trimmed in limestone. Large multi-light casement windows and a slate roof complete the exterior. Inside, oak floors, oak and walnut trim, and a curved oak stair rail survive. Corbusier, who studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, designed over thirty churches and several buildings for Western Reserve Academy. Tudor Revival was popular in suburbs by 1917 but unknown in small villages like Hudson, and this was the town's first example. It was listed for its architectural significance and retains its integrity.","period_of_significance":"1917-1928 (amended by the Keeper to 1917)","architect_builder":"John William Creswell Corbusier","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single-family dwelling; a 1987 rear addition was matched to the original house and a circa 1950 garage is noncontributing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.01877-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/89001451.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89001451/a73ab0767c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89001451/a73ab0767c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JOHN_WILLIAM_CRESSWELL_CORBUSIER_HOUSE,_HUDSON,_SUMMIT_COUNTY,_OH.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JOHN_WILLIAM_CRESSWELL_CORBUSIER_HOUSE,_HUDSON,_SUMMIT_COUNTY,_OH.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"75001539","name":"Western Reserve Academy","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/western-reserve-academy-75001539/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986226","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138748755"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/corbusier-john-william-creswell-house-89001451/"}
