Biographical/Historical Note
John Fanz Staub designed Hopecote at 1820 Melrose Avenue for his aunt, Emma Fanz Price Hope, in 1921. Completed in 1924, the home reflects Mrs. Hope's fondness for the cottage architecture of England's Cotswold District. The University of Tennessee purchased the home in 1980, and Staub oversaw its rennovation just before his death in 1981. The building now houses the University's distinguished visitors.
Arrangement
Collection consists of six folders.
