Welcome to the
Joshua T. Waterman House
The Second Empire house was built by Joshua T. Waterman in 1865. Mr.
Waterman was born in Historic Hudson in 1807. His family was originally from Cape Cod,
Massachusetts.
He was connected with the business affairs of the Hudson Branch of the Hudson and
Albany railroads and also served as the Mayor of Hudson for four consecutive terms
beginning in 1853.
Joshua and his wife, Jeanette Ten Eyck had twelve children... a fact that makes this
grand and spacious house, with three stories and a tower, seem not so spacious after all.
