Fannie and George Hodson purchased property from Edward Chapin between 1884 and 1887. This house was built by 1889. George was involved in South Bend's lumber and building businesses. He and his wife raised five children, George, Alvin, Hilda (Bella), Amelia and Florence. The Hodsons sold the house to James, a general contractor, and Roberta Cole by 1904. The Hodsons had built a new house at 712 Forest Avenue. The Cole family resided here for over twenty years into the late 1920s. The House is still known as Hodson's Castle.
