Description du lieu patrimonial
The Hudson Gordon House is a two storey wood framed house constructed in the distinctive Four Square style common to the elaborate homes built by those engaged in the fox farming industry in PEI. These are known locally as "fox houses." It is located in the rural community of Montrose on spacious grounds surrounded by trees.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Hudson Gordon House is significant as an example of "fox architecture" in PEI. This style combines a Four Square hipped roof design with Classic Revival elements. It became prominent in the early years of the 20th Century (1910-1930) when commercial silver fox farming created an economic boom in western PEI. This example was constructed in 1914 for Robert Hudson Gordon (1863-1948) who was one of the pioneers in fox farming in western PEI. The builder was Robert Rankin.
