John Franklin Cobb House
John Franklin Cobb House, Historical residence in Cherokee County, North Carolina.
The John Franklin Cobb House features a log structure core with weatherboard exterior additions spanning across six acres of rural land.
Built in 1863 during the Civil War era, this residence remained in the Cobb family's possession until 1977, marking over a century of continuous ownership.
The house represents the architectural evolution of American rural residences, transitioning from basic log construction to more refined building techniques of the 1880s.
Located two-tenths of a mile from US Route 129-19, the property maintains its original structural elements and surrounding agricultural landscape features.
Baseball legend Ty Cobb spent time at this house during his childhood, as he was the grandson of the original builder, John Franklin Cobb.
