The Hudson House at 817 Gold SW, is one of only two houses remaining of the many grand houses built in the residential district immediately southwest of downtown Albuquerque. It is a fine example of Period Revival architecture and features some outstanding detailing such as the leaded upper sash on the front windows, the delicate stained glass windows above the front entry and the two tier front porch with its striking balustrade. The stable/carriage house at the rear is the only one left in the downtown area. The builders and original owners were Clarence and Rose Hudson, important figures in the early 20th century local business community. Mr. Hudson originated the poster advertising business in Albuquerque.
The Hudsons had the house built in 1906 and owned it until 1936. … In 1885 Mr. Hudson began selling poster advertisements, the first in the city. The Hudson Poster Company was run by him until his death in 1920, and then by his wife until 1927 when the business was taken over by the Llewelyn Company. It was subsequently bought out by Markham in 1961 and it in turn was recently absorbed by the Donrey Company …
When Mrs. Hudson died in 1936 the house was left to her sister, Mrs. Edith Fillmore, wife of B.F. Fillmore, a nephew of President Millard Fillmore. Mr. Fillmore had served as vice presidentof the Hudson Sign Company. The Fillmores converted the house to apartments in 1941, adding an east wing and a rear addition. The east addition was designed by Tom Danahy, a prominent local architect who designed many of the large impressive homes in the nearby Huning Castle Addition. In 1951 the house was bought by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Forsythe who sold it to a law firm, Leonard OeLayo and Associates in 1981.Photographed By Duane and Tracy Marsteller, October 11, 20232.
