Who built Laurelton Hall, the home of noted artist Louis Comfort Tiffany?
Alfred Hopkins S. Alfred Hopkins (1870 — May 1941) was an American architect, an "estate architect" who specialized in country houses and especially in model farms in an invented "vernacular" style suited to the American elite. His practice, established in 1912 as Alfred Hopkins & Associates, was mostly based in New York, where he was the "dean of farm group architecture," in Westchester County, northern New Jersey and Long Island; he also built two gentlemen's farms in Illinois. He built fifteen of his practical and esthetic farm group complexes on Long Island, including one for Louis Comfort Tiffany at Laurelton Hall. An article on farm groupings published in "Architectural Record" in 1915 notes that Hopkins was often called upon to design the farm groups on estates where the residences were the work of other architects, such as Bertram Goodhue, John Russell Pope and Charles A. Platt.
Littleton Town Building The Littleton Town Building, also known as the Littleton Opera House, is a historic municipal building at 1 Union Street in Littleton, New Hampshire. Built on a steep embankment overlooking the Ammonoosuc River in 1894-5, the wood frame structure presents five stories to its rear (facing the river) and three on the front. Its most prominent feature is the six-sided tower rising above its northwest corner. When built the structure housed all manner of municipal services, including fire, police, library, and town offices. The east end of the building is taken up by the opera house, a multi-galleried auditorium with a seating capacity of 750. The building was designed by Howard & Austin of Brockton, Massachusetts.
