Jay Cooke House, Gothic Revival estate on Gibraltar Island, Put-in-Bay, United States.
The stone residence includes a four-story octagonal tower with a crenellated parapet and rounded-arch openings on the front porch.
Jay Cooke, who financed the Union during the Civil War, constructed this summer house in 1865 and retained ownership until financial troubles in 1874.
The house stands as a testament to nineteenth-century American architectural design, combining stone construction with Gothic Revival elements throughout the structure.
The property now functions as part of Ohio State University's Stone Laboratory, serving as a center for freshwater research since 1925.
The residence occupies 8 acres on Gibraltar Island, offering views of Lake Erie and direct access to freshwater research opportunities.
