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.
During World War II, Madison Cooper, Jr. hosted weekends at home for servicemen referred by the local USO. His long-time housekeeper Bertha Walton prepared wonderful meals for the men, and Cooper engaged his guests in long conversations by the living room bay window or on the front porch.
The Cooper Foundation is pleased to continue this welcoming tradition with local nonprofits – offering free space for qualified organizations to use for board meetings, staff development retreats, strategy sessions, or special events.
Tours of the Cooper House are available upon request. Please reach out to schedule a tour by emailing info@cooperfdn.org.
