As the tour continues on the east side of Park Street, visitors should note the house across the street at 1131 Park, almost directly opposite the chapel. This Queen Anne structure with prominent tower and Palladian window was the 19th-century residence of Joshua Metcalf Chamberlain (1825-1897), librarian, treasurer, and trustee of the College (see also under Mears Cottage). In 1982 the house was renovated by the College and named for Harry Lloyd Hopkins (1890-1946), the 1912 Grinnell graduate who became world-famous as the chief aide to President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression and World War II. Offices of the Rosenfield Program in Public Affairs, International Relations, and Human Rights, Women's Studies Program, and the Center for Prairie Studies are housed in the building.
