Samuel Cobb House

The Samuel Cobb House is a Craftsman-style home in Mount Tabor featuring mahogany built-ins, box beam ceilings, and original embossed wallpaper throughout its formal spaces. The property sits on about 0.56 acres with a separate carriage house and an informal dining area.

The house was built in 1911 by Samuel Cobb, who worked as both architect and builder for the project. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, recognizing its importance as an example of early Craftsman construction.

The house showcases early 1900s craftsmanship through its carefully detailed woodwork, paneling, and metal elements throughout the rooms. Visitors can see how much care went into making every architectural detail, from the decorated ceiling beams to the embossed wall coverings.

The property is easy to reach and features seismic reinforcement along with updated plumbing and electrical systems for comfort and safety. The separate carriage house on the grounds is complemented by modern conveniences, making it a straightforward visit.

The house retains original Steuben glass light fixtures and a dining set from its time of construction. The informal dining area also features heated marble floors, a rare feature in homes from that era.
