The Cobb Mansion is an example of one type of "Greek Revival" house found in Tuskegee. Four widely spaced Ionic columns extend across the front portico. The peculiar distinction of the house consists in the imitation ashler work, done in wood, across the whole front wall. The remaining walls have the usual weatherboarding. -ok-.
