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.
