Cooper House

Construction on the historic Cooper House, home of Mr. and Mrs. Madison Alexander Cooper Sr., began in 1905 and was completed in 1907. The house has both Victorian proportion and Greek revival detailing which represented the finest turn-of-the-century architecture.

The Cooper House serves as the foundation’s headquarters and is available free of charge to qualified nonprofit organizations to use for board meetings, staff development retreats, strategy sessions, or special events.
