Brennen, the local architect, Michael O’Connor, and the contractor, H.S. Moul and Company.

Contractor Henry Moul (1857-1925) worked with O’Connor and members of the Brennen family on several buildings in Hudson.  This gallery of images highlights connections among these Hudson buildings and illustrates some of the catalogs from which Moul likely ordered most of the interior and exterior finishes for Brennen’s home as well as for other Moul-built local properties.
