The eastern section, also three bays wide and one room deep, was added in the late 17th or early 18th century. The western portion originally had an overhanging section of the second floor; this was altered in the early 18th century, when the roof was raised to a flatter pitch and the overhanging section was concealed by construction of a flush wall.
The George Hopkinson House is a historic colonial First Period house in Groveland, Massachusetts. Built c. 1716, it is a rare surviving single cell house from the period. Most First Period houses were built in their first stage as a chimney section and a two-story section to one side, with one room on each floor, and were later extended with additional rooms on the other side of the chimney, giving colonial rooms their characteristic five bay appearance. Because this one was never extended in this way, it exhibits a three bay front, with a door in the right-side bay, in front of the chimney. A rear leanto section was added later in the 18th century, and the side ell was added in the 19th century. The house is also a rare regional instance of plank frame construction.

This particular type of original sections is rare among First Period houses. Later in the first period, the left side of the house was built; it was constructed without a leanto section. The left side leanto was added later in the 18th century, and part of the leanto section was raised by a shed dormer in the 19th century.
