Musical Railing --Tyler's Spite House

Frederick Courthouse Square
This is one of the more ornate old wrought iron stair railings that I've found. It dresses the front of an old c. 1795 Federal style home named for Chief Justice Tyler. I would think this rail addition came from a much later age than Tyler's (1850s) and perhaps the music stands are to signify the old house was home to the local music master and his school.
