R. N. Hudson House
507 South Sixth Street
Built 1868, Italianate
This fine two-and-one-half story Italianate brick home was built around 1868 by S. T. Reese for Col. Robert N. Hudson, a lawyer and publisher who served in the State Legislature in 1849 and 1853. In 1882, Thomas B. Johns bought the house and in 1891, sold it to Benjamin G. Cox, a partner in Hulman & Company. The house was purchased in 1918 by Alfred M. Ogle, a coal operator. It was later sold in 1923 to Paul N. Bogart, a banker.

The Women’s Department Club occupied the house from 1931 until 2022.

Over the years, the house has undergone a number of exterior alterations. Most notably, a large cupola on the north side was removed due to structural concerns. The portico at the front entrance is also a later replacement for the original porch.
