Features include a cross-gabled roof, a cutaway three-sided bay with bracketed eaves, a spindlework porch, pressed sheet metal roof shingles and interior woodwork with floral medallion and bullseye corner blocks. It notes that other T-plan houses in Vermont have been covered in synthetic siding or heavily enlarged.","narrative":"Built in 1898 at 204 North Liberty Street in Vermont, Illinois, this one-story wood-frame house follows the T-plan, a popular builder form of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Local carpenter and plasterer William Myers constructed it for William Hoopes, a wagon maker, farmer and Civil War veteran who moved in that year and lived there until his death in 1921. Queen Anne touches include a small projecting front gable, a cutaway three-sided window bay with bracketed eaves, a porch with turned posts and spindled frieze, and an original pressed metal roof resembling rounded shingles. Inside, plaster walls, varnished walnut woodwork with floral medallion and bullseye corner blocks, a pocket door and an oak and glazed tile fireplace survive. A summer kitchen is attached through an enclosed porch. The nomination found it the best-preserved T-plan house in the village, since the others have been resided or enlarged, and listed it for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"1898","architect_builder":"Myers, William, Builder","architectural_style":"Queen Anne; T-Plan","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition and still used as a single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:37.419639-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/18/8911/28891118/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/96001285.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96001285/6eaff93769-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96001285/6eaff93769-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jon Roanhaus","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hoopes_House_NRHP_96001285_Fulton_County,_IL.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jon Roanhaus</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hoopes_House_NRHP_96001285_Fulton_County,_IL.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28891118","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hoopes_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q24061462"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/fulton-county/hoopes-william-house-96001285/"}
