Ensure this historic home and studio remains a vital tool in teaching visitors about Grace and John Hudson and the times in which they lived

Grace and John Hudson’s redwood Craftsman bungalow — the Sun House — was built in 1911, and served as the couple’s home — and Grace’s studio — until 1937. When the City of Ukiah purchased the house and grounds in the late 1970s, the Sun House became a historic home and living museum, and remains so today. A Ukiah icon, the Sun House has been designated a California Landmark (No. 926) and has also been placed on the National Register of Historic Places, symbolizing its importance as a state and national treasure. As a historic home, it is the largest and arguably the most significant item in the Grace Hudson Museum’s collections. Like all historic buildings, the Sun House needs ongoing maintenance and occasional repair. A donation designated to Sun House care, will help us preserve the structure as a vital tool in teaching visitors about the Hudsons and the times in which they lived.
