Historical significance (include explanation of themes checked above) The Cook House, built in 1876, marks the transition between the Stick Style of the early 1870s and Queen Anne architecture of the 1880s.
The Queen Anne style is expressed by the varied silhouette, asymmetrical massing, and picturesque detail. The quasi-Medieval influence of John Ruskin is also present in the blunt pointed arches and polychromatic masonry. Heavily clad in vines, the Cook House con- tains one of the handsomest and least-changed Victorian interiors in O1d Cambridge. The exterior is a patterned combination of brownstone and black brick, 10.
