Hedge Lawn is a historic home located at Colonie in Albany County, New York. It was built in 1870 and is an unusual 2+12-story mansion designed in a composite style with Greek Revival and Second Empire style elements. It features a Mansard roof with scalloped slate shingles, three pedimented dormers, and a monumental portico across the front elevation supported by six massive Doric order columns.
