Philip Hooker was an American architect. He designed Hyde Hall, the facade of the Hamilton College Chapel, The Albany Academy, Albany City Hall, Hart-Cluett Mansion and the original New York State Capitol building.[1] He is believed to have designed the Gen.

He also designed many private residences for wealthy Albanians including the Van Rensselaers, Cornings, Pruyn's, Lansings, William James and others. One mansion, built for Samuel Hill, is now the Fort Orange Club at 110 Washington Avenue.
He was also a politician and a member of the "Albany Regency."[1]
He was originally buried in the State Street Burial Grounds in Albany; his body was reinterred in the 1860s at the Albany Rural Cemetery, in lot 12, section 49, in Menands, New York.[4]
Two monographs have been written on Hooker's work:
