Among his siblings were Francis L. V. Hoppin , Louise Claire Hoppin (a founder of the Red Cross ),[1] [2] [3]
Hoppin was from a prominent and talented Providence family; his paternal grandparents were Thomas Coles Hoppin and Harriet Dunn (née Jones) Hoppin.[4] Siege of Veracruz and became the namesake of Fort Vinton ) and Lucretia Dutton (née Parker) Vinton of Boston . Among his paternal uncles were Augustus Hoppin , a prominent illustrator (who wrote about the family in his novel, Recollections of Auton House ),[5] Courtland Hector Hoppin , a pioneer in the field of animated film . His maternal uncle, David Hammond Vinton, Quartermaster General of Florida (who married Pamela, a daughter of Maj. Gen.

Hoppin began his architectural practice in Providence in the late 1870s. Early on, he developed a specialty in small churches. He worked alone until 1890, when he was joined by Spencer P. Read and his brother, Francis L. V. Hoppin . The new firm was known as Hoppin, Read & Hoppin.[7] Hoppin & Koen in New York City. It was at this time that Hoppin took Edward F. Ely (1858-1920) into the firm, as Hoppin & Ely. In 1907, Ely left to become a member of the city's Board of Park Commissioners.[8] Frederick E. Field became partner. This arrangement lasted until 1922, when Thomas J. Hill Peirce, joined, the firm becoming Hoppin, Field & Peirce. It was dissolved within a few years, at which point Hoppin appears to have retired.
