The '''McGaughy House''' is a historically significant house at 900 North [[Spring Street]] in [[North Hill]], best known as the home of the [[Hopkins' House]] boarding house and restaurant from [[1951]]-[[2004]].

The house was built in [[1902]].  In November [[1951]], [[Arkie Hopkins]] purchased the house and moved her Hopkins' House business there, where it operated in some capacity until February [[2004]], when [[Ed Hopkins]] closed the restaurant and began seeking a new owner to take over the business.  He was unable to find a buyer and died in September 2004.  The house was purchased for $340,000 on [[July 5]], [[2005]] by Elise and Don Gordon, who turned it into a private residence and auctioned its contents.<ref>"A historic occasion."

In late April [[2008]], the Gordons opened the house for public tours for one weekend as part of the [[Historic North Hill Preservation Association]]'s spring 2008 tour.  For a fee, they offered a tour of the home, as well as a fried chicken dinner with two sides.
