The William Hoopes House is a historic house located at 204 North Liberty Street in Vermont, Illinois. William Hoopes, a local wagon maker, brickworks owner, and Civil War veteran, had the house built for his family in 1898. Local carpenter William Myers built the house in a T-plan, a vernacular type defined by its T-shaped cross gabled roof and floor plan. The house also includes several Queen Anne decorative elements, such as the smaller gable inside its front gable, its three-sided bay window, and its front porch with ornamental spindlework.[2]
