T. J. Hudson House, 823 5th Avenue South; 1914; John Morrell & Son, Architects, of Clinton.A two-story stucco house with hip roof. It has a full-width front porch and also a side entry porch. The house exhibits many of the principles of the Midwest-originated Prairie School Style. The house has horizontal lines and grouping of windows with some panelization of the wall. The treatment stresses the wall as a screening element rather than as a traditional, massive, load-bearing wall. The porch column is, proportion, and shape were probably inspired by the designs of George Maher, a Chicago Prairie School architect.
