In Lexington he was selectman from 1868 to 1875 <br /> and chairman of the Centennial committee in 1875. <br /> After Hudson's death the house remained in his family into the 20th century. Then, in 1921 when the Hancock Church put <br /> on a rear addition,the Hudson house was moved back onto the extension of Forest St. that had been built in 1915 perhaps <br /> with the intention of continuing it through to Massachusetts Ave., although the selectmen denied it at the time. When the <br /> house was moved, the main block and ell were separated,the house placed in its present location and the ell at what is now <br /> 15 Belfry Terr. (MHC#683). In 1927 Forest St. was extended to Massachusetts Ave., but as a continuation of the main <br /> part of Forest St. rather than of the arm built in 1915, and in 1928, in response to a petition from the residents of the former <br /> Forest St. extension, the name of that street was changed to Belfry Ten. <br />
