Judge Van Rensselaer Humphrey House , 1833
|
On Thursday, November 5th (HHA Members Only Preview Party, 6:30pm) and Friday November 6th, 2009 and Saturday November 7th (General Tour 10am-3pm), 2009 we will feature the Judge Van Rensselaer Humphrey House at 264 North Main Street, which will be decorated for the holidays by the region’s finest florists, greenhouses, and designers. Featured merchants will decorate the rooms and grounds of the house for the holidays.
In addition, seatings for a traditional tea service will be offered in historic homes of Hudson on tour days. The teas will offer an old-fashioned reprieve from “duties of the day” and a unique opportunity to learn more about the essence of tea from Hudson resident and tea aficionado, Angela Strach-Gotthardt.
Purchased in 2004 by Ann and Roger Engle, and then beautifully restored, this grand and elegant home was built in 1833. The home was built by well known architect Leander Starr who was building in Hudson between 1830 and 1850. Approximately eight other houses built by Leander Starr exist in Hudson. Judge Humphrey was an important judicial, legislative and community leader. In addition, Judge Humphrey’s daughter, Stella Conger, married to U.S. Senator Omar Conger, was a good friend of the founder of the American Red Cross, Clara Barton. Stella Conger was a charter member of the American Red Cross and also helped to lobby Congress to adopt the original Geneva Convention.
General tour tickets for November 6th and 7th will be $10 per person. An HHA members-only preview cocktail party will take place the evening of November 5th. Tickets for the preview party event are limited, and will be $75 per member.
