An architect and painter. From the internet: ?After early training at the Trinity Military Institute, Providence, Rhode Island, preparing for a career in the army, he attended Brown University, Providence. From 1884 to 1886,Hoppin studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and after another two years? study in Paris at the École des Beaux Arts, he briefly joined the architectural firm of his brother Howard (1845-1940) in Providence.
?This was followed by an apprenticeship with McKim, Mead & White. In 1899, after eight years with this firm, he left and joined Terrence Koen (1858-1923), concentrating on projects in New York City. Luxurious country and city homes became their trademark. The James P. Lanier House (1905-6), 123 East 35th Street and the E. D. Baylies House (1905-9), 10 East 62nd Street, New York, are both in the Louis XVI style favoured by their wealthy patrons.
?Among his public buildings, the New York City Police Headquarters (1909), 240 Centre Street, reveals the influence of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Most of his fire and police stations in New York were also large and extravagantly ornamented. On retirement he travelled and painted watercolour views in Europe and New England. He had one-man shows in New York City in 1925 and 1929, the New York Times in 1934 noting that his ?work is characterized by a strong architectural feel and accomplished smoothness in his use of colour?.?
