Thank you so much, this article is just great.I have come to the Cape from Germany and with this it is very easy to find the original "Hopper-places".From my room I can see Longpoint-Lighthouse and had not realized that it is LONG LEG until I read your article.As the house is gone, I just did not see it- especially as also the name is slightly different. THANK YOU again.

That's my house! The one on the right in Cottages at Wellfleet. I'm happy to report that almost all of the cottages on that bluff are still owned by the original families. My great grandfather built them and kept one, handing it down. Not a day goes by that I don't realize how lucky we are! Many happy memories. Great post! Cheers!

always loved Hopper!

Oh Maya, what a lovely piece to read today. The story is fascinating isn't it? He was the epitome of a talented genius, reclusive and brilliant. I love the story of happening upon one of his painted scenes and the delight that follows. Thanks very much for this..

How cool that he often painted in his car. When I look at older homes like this, I wonder about holidays celebrated, sorrows shared, storms weathered at the ocean's edge. And I always wonder if they're still "in the family".

Thank you --- how fun to see the paintings and the photographs. I really do love original paintings they capture such a feeling that is not quite the same with photos.
