Hopper Home.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a rare, highly intact example of Greek Revival residential architecture in New York City, with its original floor plan and interior detail preserved. It is also tied to the Women's Prison Association, the first private organization in the United States devoted to rehabilitative services for women prisoners, which ran the first halfway house for women. The building has been in continuous residential use since 1874.","narrative":"Built around 1840, this brick rowhouse at 110 Second Avenue in Manhattan's East Village is three and a half stories high and three bays wide. It has a high brownstone stoop, a portico with paired Ionic columns, six-over-six windows, a wrought-iron balcony and a dentiled wooden cornice. Inside, the original layout survives, with nineteen rooms, many marble mantels and window moldings that use an anthemion motif. The building was bought in 1874 by the Women's Prison Association, an organization founded to help women leaving prison. It became the Isaac T. Hopper Home, named for the Quaker abolitionist and penal reformer whose daughter, Abigail Hopper Gibbons, served as the group's first president. The association offered medical care, job training, basic education, job placement and religious counseling in a residential setting, and ran the first halfway house for women in the United States. The house is unusual in New York for its architectural integrity and for remaining in residential use without subdivision. It still serves as a halfway house.","period_of_significance":"c. 1840; 1874-1936","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied and still in use as organization headquarters and a halfway house; condition rated good, with some alterations.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:44.537171-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/86001155.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001155/9c7d6f912e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001155/9c7d6f912e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Americasroof","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Isaac-t.hoppeer-110-second-ave.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Americasroof</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Isaac-t.hoppeer-110-second-ave.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75319596","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_T._Hopper_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6077192"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/manhattan/hopper-isaac-t-house-86001155/"}
