The actual Nyack house where Edward Hopper grew up, with the Hudson River light and narrow stairs that shaped his paintings of urban isolation.
Edward Hopper House is a pilgrimage site for anyone who loves the paintings that turned urban isolation into an American visual language. The Victorian house was built in 1858 by Hopper's maternal grandfather, and Hopper lived here until he left for good in 1908; the streets, riverfront, and rail station he wandered as a kid show up, transformed, throughout his mature work. After his death in 1967 the house nearly came down. A group of Nyack residents saved it from demolition, and it opened in 1971 as the nonprofit museum and study center it still is.
