The Francis Hall House
Private Suites, Private Baths, Luxurious Beds

This famous home and its elegant and interesting rooms are yours to enjoy during your stay. The Francis Hall House has been lovingly restored by New York State Historical Painter, W.F. Hopkins and wife, Caroline. An award-winning artist, W.F.'s paintings are done in classic Hudson River style and are in many prominent art collections, museums and even Presidential collections. Guests are always welcome to enjoy the company of the artist in his classic Victorian "Church Street" studio adjoining the main parlor.

Art, antiques, and books fill the rooms of this elegant and historic landmark. Enjoy the library of art books, memorabilia, photos and items, some of which date to the original and famous owner of the home, Francis Hall (Japan through American Eyes, The Journal of Francis Hall, Kanagawa and Yokohama edited and annotated by F.G. Notehelfer). Enjoy all this marvelous home has to offer including the wisteria-festooned verandah and English gardens off of the artists' studio, where a former First Lady of the United States was hosted by the Hopkins.
