Summary / Abstract:
Isaac A. Hopper was the owner of the construction company that built Carnegie Hall in 1891,
but his activities extended beyond the dozens of public and private buildings all around New
York’s five boroughs. He was a well-known and dynamic man of Harlem between the 18th
and 19th century, involved in the social life of the city, and he was president of Tammany
Hall Club in the 31st district (1899-1904).
The collection includes a Scrapbook with clippings about his life and his career, some
photographs of Isaac Hopper and his family, and an essay by Walter F. Hopper Jr., furnished
with a genealogic tree drawn by Patricia Hopper Strasberg.
Isaac Abram Hopper was born on May 30, 1851 in Harlem near Macomb’s Dam, in the neighborhood
where he grew up and lived his entire life. His father Abraham Isaac Hopper and his grandfather Isaak
Abram Hopper were both builders and he learned the trade of bricklaying and plastering by helping them
with cellar walls and chimneys (the only construction Harlem required, since the neighborhood was
primarily constructed out of wood). Isaac was educated in the public schools and the College of the City
of New York, and when he was 15 years old, he went to New Jersey to start his own activities.
He returned to New York in 1875 because the death of his father and obtained his first real contract, a
little structure in the Bronx. In the hundreds of acres of Harlem, where few brick houses were still
standing, Hopper found his opportunity for success and rapidly became one of the most important and
known builders in New York City [for a list and a more extended description of this aspect I refer to the
specific paragraph].
In 1893 he joined Tammany Hall, becoming a new member during a ceremony with other candidates on
December 28. His entire social life was spent among the Democratic Clubs of Harlem (like the “Sagamore
Club”, “Harlem Democratic Club”, “Occidental Club”, “Lexington Club” and “Massasoit Club”) and he used
to take part in the assemblies, was a guest of meetings in the parloirs and fumoirs, participated in gala
dinners and night-long parties, summer picnics in Central Park and theater shows. He was also active in
builders’ arbitration and unionism and one of the front-men of the “Builders’ and Trades’ Exchange.”
He was one of the most prominent men in Harlem and after several years in the municipal Board of
Education (expressing democratic ideas for a Common School System Reform) he decided to run as a
candidate for the Tammany Hall Primaries in the 31st district, winning a hard fight against the former judge
Charles Welde. He kept the office till 1904, when he was chosen by Mayor George B. McClellan as the new
Superintendent of Buildings Bureau, appointed to inspect and control the buildings in New York City. He
tried to reform the office organization and the inspection’s system, he promulgated a bill about safety
systems in the elevators, and he stopped building construction without structural and legal guarantees.
Public opinion turned against him when he was charged with complicity and favoritism with the Pratt
Company, clashed with the plumber’s union, and was blamed for the disastrous collapse of the Darlington
Hotel and other buildings. After a humiliating accusation involving a young actress he quit his political
career and retired in 1905.
Besides the intense career of a builder, Isaac Hopper was also very active in different businesses, He was
the Director of the “Twelfth Ward Saving Banks” (then “Empire City Savings Bank”); President of “Excelsior
Terra Cotta Company”, the only furniture finishing company operative in New York; Vice-president of “U.S.
Mortar Supply and Co.”; member of the Board of Directors of the “Ferry Lee Ferry Company” between
7
Manhattan and New Jersey, and of the newspaper “The Harlem Reporter” (that caused him a lot of
impeachment problems in 1905).
He worked very hard on his beloved winter residency in Orlando, Florida, “The Ripples” on Lake Sue,
where he cultivated pineapples and oranges, covered with a modern system of canvasing able to keep the
fruit trees warm during the cold season. His love for this place is clearly shown in the short song he wrote:
"The everglades of Florida" (CHA-IH-199).
About his private life we know only few and concise stories from this scrapbook and from the Hopper’s
Family Tree (CHA-IH-FT). His first wife was Margaret Duncan Hopper (who died on September 21, 1910),
and his second wife, with whom he married just a few months before his death, was Mary G. Ludwig
Hopper. He had eight children (two daughters and six sons): Thomas T. Hopper ran the family society
“Isaac Hopper & Son Inc.” when Isaac Hopper was nominated Superintendent; the daughter Margaret was
dangerous ill in 1904. We know he loved horse racing and he built a race track on his Florida Estate to
organize and watch races. He was an amateur of yachting and in 1904, returning from a boat trip in Long
Island with other members of the Tammany Hall Club, he had a wreck and almost drowned (CHA-IH-169).
In 1910 he became seriously ill with cardiac issues (New York Times, May 25th, 1910) and after the second
marriage, he died on December 22nd, 1912 and was buried in the Hopper-Wing-VanClave mausoleum in
St. Raymond’s Cemetery, Bronx, New York.
The Isaac A. Hopper Scrapbook is an album of collected clippings of city, local and regional newspapers
articles, about Isaac A. Hopper’s life, activities, construction and political career from 1893 to 1905, during
the most intense working period of his life. Clippings are glued to the thin pages of the album, and with
the exception of the silk flier of the show “The Fortune Teller” at the West End Theatre in 1904, are the
only type of document we find inside. Most of the articles are labeled with the date and the newspaper’s
name, and sometimes the name of Isaac Hopper is underlined with a blue or red pencil when it occurred
in the clippings. The handwriting is always the same, and it’s probably Isaac Hopper’s hand, as a signed
note reveals (CHA-IH-185).
The articles give an overview on Isaac Hopper’s life and political career, but of interest are the
iconographic series: newspapers photos of Isaac Hopper and other public personalities of that time,
cartoons depicting the political scenario, sketches of some of his buildings.
Inclusive dates are 1891-1928, but the majority of the articles are from 1894-1906, during the political
adventure of Isaac Hopper, and only a few rare clippings pass the first five years of the century. The album
is in chronological order, but the order is not strictly respected: some pages include articles pertaining to
an argument that spans many different years; and random articles were glued where a space in the page
has/had been found, with no regard to the chronological or argument order.
8
The clippings collection includes more than 500 articles, glued on 225 pages. This finding aid tries to
provide access to all of these articles. A general topic, explaining the content of each page, has been
chosen to act as a guide to the collection. Topics are identified by short and clear titles, and refer to the
articles in the page, but not every page consists of only one topic, and it’s possible to find articles that are
not strictly related to the general topic chosen. Sometimes a brief description of the most interesting
article on the page follows the topic and could give further information.
Topics give an overview of the Isaac A. Hopper Scrapbook, and we have divided the whole collection into
four macro-areas (Private Business, Social and Public Life, Superintendent of Buildings, Private Life):

Provenance:
When Carnegie Hall established its first archives, in August 1986, the press department sent releases to
the media to generate interest in the project. The first article to appear in the press was on August 12,
1986 in the Long Island newspaper, New York Nowdays. Written by Peter Goodman entitled “Preserving
Carnegie Hall’s History, the article generated many phone calls and letters from the public. One of the
first people to contact Carnegie Hall was Patricia Hopper Strasberg, living in Old Field, NY. She identifies
her great grandfather, Isaac A. Hopper, as the original contractor of Carnegie Hall, and that she owned a
scrapbook of material. A meeting was arranged within the month and it was agreed the scrapbook
would be put on long-term deposit at Carnegie Hall.
Gino Francesconi has stayed in touch with Patricia Strasberg via emails and gatherings on the occasion
of the Strasberg’s visits to New York. Patricia and her husband, Ron, currently reside in Orlando, Florida.
During the remodeling of the studio tower, 2009-2014, it was discovered one of the Tishman
Construction managers was named Mike Hopper. A meeting was arranged to determinate a relationship
if any. To this date none has been determined. In April 2017, Patricia Stresberg was asked for permission
to digitize the scrapbook and photographs with the promise that a finding aid and digitized files would
be shared with the Strasberg family. Permission was granted

List of buildings:
Isaac Hopper had been in the construction field for over 30 years, and during his career he built more than
50 buildings all around New York City, New York State and in Florida. Featured are some remarkable ones
such as Carnegie Hall, now a national landmark. A lot of his works are now destroyed and replaced by new
buildings, but we can still find a large number of them, sometimes with the same function as originally
intended. His activities started in the Bronx with a building for the mounted police of Morrisania (Bronx,
NY) and his career took off very quickly. He worked a lot on private contracts, and his first contracts were
with family Mausoleums in the Trinity Cemetery in Manhattan (despite New York City’s constantly
changing skyline, these mausoleums are still standing). “Isaac A. Hopper & Sons Incorporated Building
Construction” also had important public contracts, like the foundation of the Costume House, the Third
Avenue Bridge, the Parkway Viaduct System, and the Eighth Regiment Armory.
His activity ranges from office buildings to churches—such as the Saint Michael Episcopal Church in
Harlem, which still operates today—and includes a variety of typologies: hospitals; infrastructures,
especially the Third Avenue Bridge, a work of high-tech engineering for that time, and some railroad
systems with modern Power Cable Houses; commercial buildings; hotels and residences; schools, which
earned him a position on the Board of Education; banks; cultural institutions and monuments, such as the
Tower of Victory in Washington Headquarters' Square in Newburgh, NY; libraries, such as the Lenox
Library (which was later destructed and combined with the New York Public Library Collection), and the
Carnegie Library in the Upper East Side (now the Yorkville branch of the NYPL). After his death the
construction company was managed by his son, Thomas Tone Hopper, affiliated with his father firm, and
then by the brothers Walter Francis and George Burford until 1932.
Here is a list of his works as outlined in the scrapbook, with the address, the date of construction (if
known), and the date of demolition (if applicable), divided by architectural typology. The main sources of
this list are the biographical clippings in the scrapbook:
