Hudson-Evans House, Second Empire residence in Brush Park, Detroit, US
The Hudson-Evans House features red brick construction, a stone foundation, and a mansard roof decorated with colored slate in geometric patterns.
Built between 1872 and 1873 for ship owner Philo Wright, the house later became a wedding gift to Grace Whitney Evans in 1882.
The residence gained additional significance when Joseph Lowthian Hudson, founder of the J.L. Hudson Company department store, rented it from 1894 to 1904.
The property at 79 Alfred Street now functions as law offices while maintaining its status on the National Register of Historic Places.
The structure includes elaborate two-story bay windows on both sides and displays a combination of Second Empire and Italianate architectural elements.
