Hopkins' Overlook
Clarence Hopkins came to Cotter in 1903 to establish the Cotter Lumber
Company. One year later he and his new wife Laura began life here where
they built the Paradise Theater, and operated a bank, newspaper,
insurance agency, and real estate agency. They built Hopkinswoode, their
lifetime residence, in 1914 and lived there until their deaths. Members
of the family still live there.
