You could own the most recognizable historic home in Alexandria, Louisiana. Known as the "Cook Home" after the family who built it in 1904, it has remained in the family ever since. This Queen Anne Revival style home is said to be inspired by a house in San Francisco that William Sherman Cook had visited. Situated on about an acre corner lot it has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, a formal living room and dining room, and an impressive foyer. The upstairs bathroom was the first interior bathroom in Alexandria and still has the original fixtures. Interior walls are a thick plaster over original shiplap which provide excellent insulation. The full-size attic could be finished out to a third floor, if desired. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and deemed to be a Louisiana Historic Monument.
