Judson Homestead

357 S. Main Street,
Oswego

This property, located along the Fox River, includes a Greek Revival-style house and barn were constructed during the 1840s and 1850s. It was the home of one of Oswego’s first settlers and land developers, Lewis B. Judson.

Both the home and the outbuildings contribute to the overall significance of the site. The Greek Revival barn is believed to be the only such

structure in Kendall County designed in this style of architecture. The one-acre wooded site was purchased in 2002. The new owner previously pulled a demolition permit and the site is not currently protected by landmark status. Although the Village of Oswego has a historic preservation ordinance, it has not designated any local landmarks to date.
