It has six bays, two center doorways and two stories over a high basement.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a rare example of a double row house in central Sandusky. It shows the transition from late Federal vernacular to Greek Revival architecture. Its link to Eleutheros Cooke, a prominent early citizen who held the land, adds historical value.","narrative":"Located at 106-108 East Adams Street in the center of Sandusky, this brick double house dates to about the 1840s. Each half has three bays, with two doorways in the middle of the facade. The two stories sit above a high basement, and a wooden stoop with symmetrical flights of steps leads to the main entrances. Stone lintels and sills frame the openings, the eaves cornice is dentilled, and the end walls have stepped parapets. The house blends late Federal and Greek Revival elements, while the stoop appears to come from a later Italianate style. It was built on land acquired in 1838 by Eleutheros Cooke, a lawyer, state representative and congressman who was among Sandusky's most prominent citizens. Title stayed in his name until 1866. It was recognized mainly as a rare example of double row house construction in the central city. The interior is in fair condition, and its original Greek Revival woodwork survives intact.","period_of_significance":"c. 1840's","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Federal-Greek Revival transitional","criteria":[],"status_note":"Interior condition described as fair, with original Greek Revival woodwork intact and a good restoration possible.
