The Hodgson House is located at 126 South Milledge Avenue (Tax Parcel No. 12-2-B4-J-005), on the southwest corner of Milledge and Broad.

Representative of the Craftsman style, this building's most distinctive feature is the green pantile tile roof, a feature enhanced by the comparatively large scale and mass of the house. The front-facing U-shaped plan incorporates a full-width integral porch, supported by uncoursed stone piers. A large hipped-roof dormer with three pairs of windows embellishes the main roof, which is clipped and gabled. Although shingles clad the main body of the dwelling, half-timbering appears in some of the gable ends. Decorative elements include brackets beneath wide overhanging eaves, exterior stone chimneys, multi-pane windows, decorative windows with a diamond-shaped design, and a doorway transom featuring a similar diamond motif. A lintel course that encircles the house is broken only by the chimneys. A hipped, secondary roof shelters the one-story extension in the rear and the enclosed sleeping porches on the south side.

On land his older brother, E. R. Hodgson, sold to him, Harry L. Hodgson constructed this residence in 1910. Harry L. Hodgson was president of the Hodgson Oil Refining Company and an officer of the Empire State Chemical Company, Inc. When the Hodgson House was threatened with demolition in 1979 to make way for a Steak and Ale Restaurant, the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority quickly bought the property and renovated the building for additional housing and storage space.

The Hodgson House has been locally designated as a Historic Landmark (January 8, 1991).
