The place is of historic significance as an example of a commercial building in the Old Port City of Fremantle dating from the early decades of the twentieth century. The place is significant because, when viewed from the street, it is a substantially intact example of a commercial building which contributes to the very significant Old Port City of Fremantle.
Two storey brick and tile building with a zero setback from the pavement. The façade features a bracketed parapet and central pediment where '1922' appears in stucco. There is a central large entrance and multi paned fanlights above the windows, which have prominent mullions.
Built 1922 for Charles Hudson (1865-1949), who came to WA from Adelaide to join Sandover & Co, before establishing his own business as an insurance agent. Hudson was involved in many local clubs and societies. The Hudson Building was occupied by various shipping companies over the years, such as Cunard Line, Australind SS & WA Shipping Association Ltd. In 1989 occupied by Danzas Wills, formerly George Wills & Co. Architectural record on file by Slavin Architects, dated 1996, with proposals to restore original building. Approval also given for six residential units to be added. Currently (2002), commercial use. In 2003 HCWA added the well, situated underneath this building to its Assessment Program.
The Fremantle MHI management category for this place was amended and adopted by the decision of Council on 28/09/2011.
