This design is typical of the elegant Federal era ironwork designed by Phillip Hooker (1766-1836), the leading architect in early 19th century Albany, New York. On February 4, 1833, George Clarke (1768-1835) paid the master blacksmith $346.31 for bringing the railing from Albany and installing it over the portico of the Great House at Hyde Hall.
