Philip Hooker
An introduction to his work, and some new discoveries


Free lecture sponsored by the Turpin Bannister Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians and Historic Albany Foundation.

Thursday, May 3, 6:00 p.m.
Fort Orange Club, Albany
presented by Walter Richard Wheeler

Arguably Albany's best architect, Hooker designed the old Albany Academy, and Hyde Hall, which will be seen in June on our Cooperstown tour.

Mr. Wheeler is an architectural historian with Hartgen and Associates, and is co-author of a book on Philip Hooker, A Neat Plain Modern Stile, and the recently published The Marble House in Second Street. The Fort Orange Club (also designed by Hooker) is at 110 Washington Avenue, between Swan and Dove Streets.
