night i'm the house.
Many other distinguished patriots OF
that time also sojourned I'm the house
for more or less time. for none of these
ever came 10 Providence without paying
their respects 10 Stephen Hopkins, and
his hospitality was such that they gener-
ally remained beneath his roof.
Thus n will be seen that this old house.
which people pass and repass many
times a day without thought OF 1t. Is
really one Of the main historical relics in
this city of the time of the American
revolution.
FOR HISTORICAL RELICS.
The house and land upon which it
stands is az present the property OF the
Brown estates, and while the land is OF
course. valuable, the house does not rep
resent much capital.
The proposition has been made by GER
tain persons. who are interested In pre-
serving historical relics, that IL the
house is to be torn down certain portions

Island Historical society, and other kin.
dred organizations.
IL has even been suggested that iras-
much as Stephen Hopkins was one of tho
signers of the Declaration OF Inderssnd-
ence. the United States should endeavor
10 secure some part on fragment OF tho
old house.
These are, of course. all Suggestions
that have hardly assumed form yst. but
II is not improbable that the Sons OF tina
American Revolution, Daughters OF tho
American Revolution, Colonial Danes
and the Society OF Colonial Wars will en-.
deavor to take some action.
