Cooper House
23 Yonge Street South, Elmvale, ON Canada
The Cooper House is located at 23 Yonge Street South (formerly 47), a prominent location on one of the main streets of Elmvale. The house was built in 1893 for Alexander Taylor Cooper, postmaster and prominent local merchant, running a dry goods called the “Old Reliable” at 9 Queen Street West (currently G & S Computers). A. T. Cooper’s wife was Mary Ann Craig of Craighurst.
This two-story red veneer brick and frame house is in the Queen Anne style. It is an excellent example of this particular style. It was built by Martin Cook, carpenter/builder, in the good manner of others of the same period.
