The L-shaped house is a two-story it frame structure with gable roof, two chimneys1 and clapboarded F;.: walls. First-story windows are topped by cornices. The north arm, four bays wide and one bay deep, measures about14by3l- feet and the rear arm 20 by 24-feet in size. This rear eil, now two stories in height, incorporates the original one-story K dwelling erected in 1707. The north Hopkins Street eleVation, four bays wide, originally had a window in the first story of each bay. In 1928 a reconstructed door, with triangular p pediment and pilasters typical of the mid-iSth century, was inserted in place of the window that had occupied the second bay from the left corner. The new door became the main entrance. The original main entrance, a panelled door topped by a U. rectangular transom, was located in what is:now in the west side, rn in the third bay from the rear corner of the ell; this door opened rn in to the "keeping room." Except for the addition of the new main entrance, the exterior of the house is otherwise little- altered. z t6 The new door opens into a central hail which contains the -I main stairway set against the east left wall. To the left of the Hall is the Governor’s study and to the right the parlor. The parlor fireplace has a set of recessed shelves topped by C rounded headed and shell shaped carving set in the paneling above n the hearth. The fireplaces in the study and keeping room have -1 simple paneling. To the right of the parlor fireplace a door opens into a hort passageway that in turn opens in the large o keeping room. In the southeast corner, off the keeping room, z is a small bedrodm without a fireplace. Upstairs there are five bedrooms, and ofthese chambers two have fireplaces. The ‘I. interior of the house, including the stairs, woodwork, floors1 and fireplaces, is largely original. The structure was carefully restored by Norman M. Isham in 1927-28, when the house was moved to its present location. The building is maintained in excellent condition and is open to visitors as a historic house museum. _

From 1770 to 1775 Hopkins was a member of; the Rhode Island General * Assembly and chief justice of the superior court of the colony. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1776. He was compelled to-return home in September 1776 because of declining health, but between 1776 and 1780 he served as a Rhode Island delegate to conventions of New England. States and in 1777 was a member of the Rhode Island General Assembly.

1*’ Hopkins helped to establish a public subscription library in Providence in 1753 and a newspaper, the Providence Gazette; and Country Journal, in 1762. He was the first chancellor of Rhode Island College , founded at Warren in 1764, and was instrumental in obtaining its removal to Providence in 1770. He was a member of the Philosophical Soceity of Newport, and in 1769 was concerned in erecting a telescope in Providence for observing the transit of Venus. He died at Providence on July 13, 1785 and was buried in the North Burying Ground. In his will Hopkins freed his Negro slaves.

HISTORY OF THE HOUSE I -

The oldest portion of the Governor Stephen Hopkins House, now a rear eli, is believed to have been built about 1707 and was originally ½: a small one-story frame dwelling comprised of two first-floor rooms and a attic. Stephen Hopkins acquired the residence and in 1742-43 enlarged and remodelled the structure into the extant L-shaped two-story Georgian frame house. General George Washington was a guest in this house on April 6, 1776. .

The house was originally located on the northeast corner of Hopkins and South Main Street. In 1804 it was moved to the east along the north side and about halfway up Hopkins Street. In 1927 the structure was moved a second time to the east, to its present location on the southwest corner of Hopkins and Benefit Street, to make way for the construction of a new court house. The Hopkins House was acquired by the State of Rhode Island in 1927 and carefully restored under the direction of the architectural historian Norman M. Isham in1928. Still owned by the State, the grounds and exterior of the Hopkins House are maintained by the State; the interior is maintained, furnished, and exhibited to the * public by the Society of Colonial Dames in the State of Rhode Island. ______* -

Brief Sketch of the Life of Stephen Hopkins, 1707-1785

U - Stephen Hopkins was born March 7, 1707 in the t’mwn of Cranston 1754-1868 now a part of the City of Providence, Rhode Island. His boyhood, however, was mostly passed in the section that since 1731 has formed the town of Scituate. A farmer and surveyor, Hopkins married Sarah Scott in 1726, by whom he had seven children. x She died in 1753 and in 1755 he married Mrs. Anne Smith Smith.

- When Scituate was set off from Providence in 1731 Hopkins was made moderator of the first town meeting in 1732 he became town clerk and in 1735 president of the town council. From 1732 LU to 1738 with the exception of 1734 he represented Scituate in the Rhode Island General Assembly. In 1741 he was again elected . - assemblyman and he became speaker in 1742. In 1736 he was chosen one of the justices of the court of common pleas for Providence County, as well as justice of the peace, and in 1741 became clerk of the-court of common pleas. About 1740 he joined his merchant brother in his commercial ventures and in 1742 Hopkins moved to Providence, where he resided for the rest of his life.

From 1744 to 1752 he served again in the General Assembly, from 1747 to 1749 he held the position of assistant justice of the

Rhode Island superior court, and from 1751 to 1755 was chief jus- * - tice. From 1755 to 1757 he was royal governor of Rhode Island. Hopkins attended the general colonial congresses of 1754, 1755, and 1757, where he favored a union of the English colonies.

This house is said to have had its heginninrs in 1707 as a small dwelling of two ground-floor rooms and an attic- That structure was acquired in l7I2-l?3 ty Stephen Hopkins, who soon afterwards rele- rated it to the subordinate position of dl, only, to the house of two storeys and attic which he erected and to which it became joined. Although it.- now stands at the top of a short, steep street, the entire present house was originally at the bottom of that street and more to the north. In 1801t it was moved a short distance south-east to a site halfway up this incline, and in 1927 it was moved- another very short distance east to its present location5

The houso, of timber and clapboard construction, has not in the course of tiiie and of those two moves-suffered from enlargement, dimi- nuticn or other detracting alterations. One small change has hcen made, but it is not detracting. On its original site, the house’s main en- trance remained a door opening into ,the 170?, or keeping-room, portion. In its last move the house was partially turned around: a new main entrance was cut, leading into the stair-hall of the two-storey addition - and replacing a window there. This was skillfully and sympathetically accomplished by a Imowledgeable architect who also oversaw whatever minor restoration wdrk the house at that time required.

The oriinal part of the house is low plus attic and squarish, and that added by Hopkins high and wide hy comparison, but shallow. C This later portion is only one room deep, with four bays across its cm now north front, one window only on each floor at the gable ends.

The interior of the-Hopkins house has come through the years in remakably intact state insofar as construction, stairs, woodwork

- even floors, fireplaces, trim etc. are concerned. Interior taint colours now to be seen have been carefully researched or copied, as U, is also the case in respect t the present exterior colotr.

¶hile a possessiou of the State of Rhe Island, the house has for about forty years been in the active and meticulous care of the -Society of Colonial Dames in the State of Rhode Island, to which is due its fine maintenance and autltntic appearance. ______

STATEMENT OF SIONI Ft c ANC E include Personages, Dates, Events, Etc.

The primary importance or significance of this house is that of association with its owner and occunant, Stephen Hopkins l707-l78. He was a figure intellectually and politically important not only in the history of his native Rhode Island hut in the American Revolution and in the formative years of the republic.

- Self-educated, Hopkins was possessed of a broad and accuisitive intellect which throughout his life he put to active use in many areas. O - He aided in the founding of the present Providence Athenaeum and, in 176h, of Brown Univorsity, of which he was chancellor until his death. lie was a member of the Rhode Island General Assembly, Chief Justice of the Superior Court and ten times Governor of the State. He was a meiTher of the First and Second Continental Conrresses and a Sirner U, of the Declaration of Independence. H-is place in history as scholar, merchant, scientist, writer, jurist and politician is too well knom - to need further review here, except to mention his friendships with both Benjamin Franklin and George 1:Jashington, his close association with hoses Brown and all important local personages. In 1716 he was overnight host to General -1ashington.in this house.

The house, though modest, has nevertheless its a-rn sictnificance as an intact par-b--of our architectural and social history-- giving a good visual impression of the skills of the XTIII Century house- wright, of coi’fortable but unpretentious early domestic accon-jnodation.

While the house has already been generally described in Section 7, mention should he made of its visible structural and decorative woodwork, its five original fireplaces and original chimneys. The fireplace in the parlour has an interesting ornamental treatment, peculiar to Rhode Island, in the panelling above the hearth, which has as its central feature a set of recessed shelves, round-headed and with shell carving. There is a simple wood cornice in this room, sime fireplace panelling in two other rooms and simple turned or cut design in the two stair-rails. See Continuation Sheet. ,Form 10.300.

8. Sigrificance continued. - - The house has been furnished throughout with nieces apropriate to the time of Hopkinsts residence there until his death, including a fe-: small items which were used by him or his family. It gives a good and accurate picture of mid-XVIII Century domestic life as lived

by cultivated but not rich persons. -- -

Adjoining the house to its west, the small garden area of the house’s present plateau supported by a stone retaining wall hearing a wooden fence of period design-has been carefully laid out and planted with flowers, herbs etc. such as were used for family needs and pleasure at the time of Hopkins occuPancy.

Historically impdrtant as a relic of Stephen Hopkins and throu association with George Washington, the house with its small surround ing area has been preserved and is shown in such a way as to ma a tnly believable background for the pexon of Stephen Hopkins ard an instructive -reflection of his probable tastes and personality, - - - 9 MAJOR BIOLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES
