498, rue Main. Stéphane Brunet, Néomédia, 2023
This former boarding house was built in 1856 on Main Road in Hudson. It is believed to have been built by George Dupont Hodgson, a blacksmith who was involved in the construction of several other buildings in Hudson.

The house is one of the last remaining witnesses to Hudson’s founding period.
The house has been vacant for several years. Due to a lack of maintenance, it is rapidly deteriorating.
In July 2020, Hudson Town Council approved a redevelopment project for the site involving the demolition of the house and the construction of a three-storey building containing 18 condominium units.
In the fall of 2020, the demolition authorization was revoked due to a procedural error.
In January 2023, a new demolition application was submitted. The Town of Hudson received nearly 40 objections to the demolition from residents. The Demolition Committee ultimately rejected the application.
Given the condition of the house and the history of the case, the citizen who raised the alert expects the owner to submit another demolition application in the near future.
Furthermore, although the municipality is in the process of amending its urban planning regulations to better protect and preserve certain buildings, the previous regulations remain in effect for the time being, making it difficult to protect older residential buildings in the town centre.
