The original Greek Revival house dates to 1858 (about 1850 in one passage) and carries an 1882 Queen Anne style addition.","why_significant":"It is significant locally as the birthplace and boyhood home of the American artist Edward Hopper, who lived there until 1910 and held title until his death in 1967. It also has architectural interest as a blend of mid and late nineteenth century styles, with a largely intact Greek Revival dwelling and a Queen Anne addition that reflect the Smith-Hopper family's prosperity and Nyack's growth.","narrative":"This house at 82 North Broadway in Nyack, New York, is the birthplace and boyhood home of painter Edward Hopper. The original side-hall Greek Revival dwelling was built in 1858 by his maternal grandfather, John DeWint Smith, and a two and one-half story Queen Anne addition followed in 1882, the year Hopper was born. He lived here until 1910, when he moved to Manhattan, and he kept title to the property until his death in 1967. His sister Marion remained until she died in 1965. Hopper later used a parlor of the addition as the setting for his 1921 painting New York Interior. The house also records changing architectural tastes, with intact moldings, mantels and floor plans from both building periods. After years of neglect, neighbors and a preservation foundation saved and restored it. It now serves as a community cultural center and gallery.","period_of_significance":"1882-1949","architect_builder":"John DeWint Smith (built the original portion in 1858, as stated in the narrative)","architectural_style":"Late Victorian/Queen Anne","criteria":["B"],"status_note":"Restored by a preservation foundation and now used as a community cultural center and exhibit space with a ground floor gallery.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.098895-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/00000352.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000352/3d72c8417e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000352/3d72c8417e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Ritzel","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edward_Hopper%60s_birthplace_Nyack.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Ritzel</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edward_Hopper%60s_birthplace_Nyack.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75321454","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Hopper_Birthplace_and_Boyhood_Home","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5343501"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/rockland-county/hopper-edward-birthplace-and-boyhood-home-00000352/"}
