His architectural legacy includes the design of the original Euston Station in London and the Great Hall of Euston, which was considered one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in Britain. The portrait of Hardwick in fancy dress not only serves as a personal memento but also highlights the cultural and artistic milieu of the period.
