Lane 4 Imaging has added a photo to the pool:
In 1743, Stephen Hopkins purchased a home supposed to have been built in 1708. To the structure, Hopkins attached his own two-story house, built with a single ground floor room on either side of a central hallway and two chimneys (one for each main floor room with chamber above). He installed a fine staircase with stocky balusters set in a heavy, molded closed string course, and good paneling and trim. Hopkins' own possessions on display include two Queen Anne chairs, his silver porringer, shoe buckles, baby bonnet, and shoes.
Governor Hopkins was one of the two Rhode Island Signers of the Declaration of Independence. George Washington visited Hopkins in his house. Alden Hopkins, a descendant of Governor Hopkins' brother, and resident landscape architect at Colonial Williamsburg designed the 18th-century parterre garden.
