Built in 1873-75 by George Sanders, this 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house is a well-preserved example of French Second Empire style.

Sanders House occupies a visible position in the village center of Hudson, facing its town common across Derry Street.

Sanders, trained in the building trades by his father, went on to have a productive career in Hudson and neighboring Nashua, where he established a box factory.

Sanders was also instrumental in bringing public water to Hudson, and was a driving force in the establishment of a street railway.

Also lost was an elaborate picket fence that once extended across the front of the property, with styling similar to that of the house.
