Its original porch was the site where General William Henry Harrison was presented with a flag made by Sandusky women in 1835. Jay Cooke also spent his last winter in Sandusky here.","narrative":"Built in 1827 at 410 Columbus Avenue in Sandusky, this two-story limestone house is identified as the city's oldest standing house. Its Greek Revival character shows in a wide cornice board with brackets and panels, and a front door whose lights are separated from the door by narrow reeded pilasters. The basement sits almost entirely above ground. A frame addition on the north side and a brick porch replacing the original porch date to about 1920, and a canopy over the basement door is the latest change. Eleutheros Cooke, one of Sandusky's first settlers and its first lawyer, built the house along with several others. He was the father of Jay Cooke, the Civil War financier, who spent his last winter in Sandusky here. In 1835 General William Henry Harrison received a flag from Sandusky women on the original porch. The house now holds apartments and offices, and an old wrought iron fence runs along the side alley.","period_of_significance":"1827","architect_builder":"Architect or engineer: E.
