The Edward Hopper House in Nyack, New York is the birthplace of the renowned American artist Edward Hopper (1882-1967).
It was built in 1858 by his maternal grandfather, and served as his primary residence until 1910. After Hopper’s death the house fell into disrepair, but was saved from demolition and restored by members of the local community. Since 1971, the Edward Hopper House has been a not-for-profit art center. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The mission of the Edward Hopper Landmark Preservation Foundation is to preserve and maintain the birthplace and boyhood home of Edward Hopper; to maintain an archive of Edward Hopper documents and memorabilia; to serve as a resource for scholars, art historians, and art lovers worldwide; to function as a multi-arts center for artists to display their work in all media, and to encourage and nurture community engagement with the arts.
The Edward Hopper House Art Center is at 82 N. Broadway, Nyack. Call 845-358-0774 or email info@hopperhouse.org. For more information, click here.
