He says he one day hopes to reside in a modest apartment inside the hall. Even as the estate was beginning to crumble into ruins, it was rated in the top 5% of structures that should be preserved. The oldest part of Hopwood Hall is timber-framed and constructed on what had been their hunting lodge in 1426. The renovated structure will have 25 bedrooms, which DePree says will be operated as a hotel.Funds from grants, donations Unlike his grandfather, who was proud to have the middle name Hopwood, DePree was resolved by the time he entered school that his middle name would not play well on the playground. Devastated, surviving family members moved to London. In 1922, the family put the estate up for sale but found that large country estates had become white elephants. As a child, DePree’s grandfather, Herbert Hopwood Black, told him about a castle in England that bore the name Hopwood, but young DePree knew his grandfather had never laid eyes on such a place. “It was unbelievable to me that the castle my grandfather told stories about actually existed,” DePree says. DePree wrote most of the book — which is getting favorable reviews for its self-effacing humor and insights — while visiting Holland during the first year of the pandemic. Soon he was in communication with Bob Wall, a local man who was leading an effort to preserve and restore the hall as an example of the cultural significance of an English country manor. DePree, who grew up in Holland, will be showing video and photos of Hopwood Hall — parts of which are 600 years old — while reading excerpts from the book. Publisher HarperCollins/William Morrow has DePree on a whirlwind tour, with events in Grand Rapids, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, and six other stops in England, including a June 18 event at Hopwood Hall Estate itself.

Pastime Vintage: An Artist Restores a Quirky Cottage in Cortland ... (https://www.chronogram.com/)

Greg Daigle sees beauty in bygone things and lovingly restores what he finds into objets d'arte.

“The first room was a waiting room and the second was wired as an exam room,” says Daigle. Now he uses the space to display antiques and house the occasional guest. It’s almost as if—after a celebratory glass of champagne—the doctor dozed off on the porch that night at the war’s end and woke up on a recent spring day to find nothing in the immediate vicinity had changed. Daigle added a bed to the space as well as a cafe table and chairs in a corner. “There’s a lot of time walking the river and through the woods involved in this,” he explains. Part of the 1917 cabin, the classic, screened-in sleeping porch has vaulted ceilings and offers generous views of the gardens, patio, and woods. “I let the wood tell me what it wants to be and I go with that,” he explains. While Daigle identifies as a “glorified handyman,” he has developed a keen sense of fine craftsmanship, as well as the rehab and creative skills to match. Even though the original 1917 family room has a small footprint, its cathedral ceilings, sleeping loft accessed by a ladder, and corner windows gave a sense of spaciousness. “Mother Nature is the ultimate artist—I just have a knack for finding some of her more hidden work and bringing it to light.” The war was over and DeSantes was finishing the house and moving to the country full-time,” says Daigle. “This house really is an old soul.” After the passing of Dr. DeSantes and his wife, the home changed hands between architects before it came on the market again in 2008. In the 1940s, DeSantes grafted a stucco, Mediterranean-style addition along the south end of the now T-shaped structure, giving the home some decidedly eclectic charm.
