“Albany” - Cape Cod Cottage With Picket Fence Doorstop
Cape Cod Cottage with Picket Fence was produced by National Foundry—one of the earliest American foundries, established in the 1880s in Whitman, Massachusetts. Inspired by Hubley’s iconic #211 design, this version reinterprets the classic Cape Cod cottage with its own distinctive charm: white picket fences, reflecting the character of early 20th-century architecture from the Albany region.
Cast in solid grey iron and hand-painted in vibrant polychrome tones, this piece serves both as a decorative object and a functional artifact. It stands as a tangible representation of early American folk design, rooted in craftsmanship, regional identity, and utilitarian beauty
This piece is documented in The Doorstop Book: An Encyclopedia of Doorstop Collecting by John C. & Nancy M. Smith.
