Gallery Label:
The Philip Schuyler mansion at the corner of Clinton and Schuyler Streets is Albany's most imposing colonial landmark. Erected by Philip Schuyler (1733-1804) in 1762, it was originally known as "the Pastures" and stood near what was then the south edge of the city. Hooker's watercolor of the house and its outbuildings was used as a headpiece on a manuscript description and appraisal of the property, dated January 20, 1818, and signed by Hooker as city surveyor.
