Description

Tour the fully renovated 1860s Italianate home, which balances detailed restorations of original features with state-of-the-art amenities. Now known as Greyhound Manor, Greendale’s Cook House was still undergoing rehab when we featured it on our Ridge Avenue Ramble tour in 2018. Now, owners Jim and Sam Fulton invite the public to see the fully renovated Italianate home, which balances detailed rehabilitation of original features, including five Rookwood fireplaces, with state-of-the-art technology and amenities. Built in the early 1860s, the Italianate house was owned by several families, including distillery manager Colonel Bannister, before being purchased in 1891 by William F. Cook. Five generations of the Cook family occupied the house for 91 years before the Fultons purchased the property in 2017 and began renovating the property, restoring lost historic elements and incorporating modern features. Greyhound Manor is accessible to all. Please note that restrooms are not available on site. Parking is available on the surrounding streets. Tickets are free with RSVP. Please plan on arriving 10 minutes before your tour time to check in. The last tour departs at 3:15 p.m., ending at 4.
