Cooke around 1919 to 1923.","why_significant":"The house is considered significant for architecture as a 1920s interpretation of the Georgian Revival cottage, with Georgian proportions and detailing, especially on its front portico. Addendum material calls it probably the most highly detailed Georgian Revival interpretation in Columbus. It is also significant for local history as the home of a prominent surgeon in the once-elite High Uptown neighborhood.","narrative":"This one-story Georgian Revival cottage at 1523 3rd Avenue in Columbus was built for Dr. William L. Cooke, a local physician described as one of the city's most prominent general practicing surgeons. Dating is uncertain: the city directory first lists the address in 1923, while a 1919 trade publication suggests the house had just been completed. The brick house has a square plan, gable roof, two interior chimneys and a central hall with four rooms. Its three-bay front has a central entrance with sidelights, sheltered by a Corinthian-columned portico with a full entablature and a pediment holding a rounded-arch window. Modillioned eaves add further detail. The house is valued as a 1920s take on Georgian Revival design and is described as possibly the most highly detailed example in Columbus. It also reflects the High Uptown neighborhood, once the city's elite district, where the Cooke family lived until the mid-1930s.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Built by Dr. William L.
