Birthplace and boyhood home of the eminent realist painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967). The Hoppers forebears came from Holland in 1652, and the artists grandfather built this house in 1858. After graduating from Nyack High School, Hopper moved to New York but returned to the family home throughout his life.
