The Cook-Hill House was built by Wright and Amanda Rogers Hobgood in the mid-1800s. It was purchased by Monroe and Allie Cook in 1890 and remodeled in 1900. Members of the Cook family either lived in or owned the house until the year 2000, when Bill and Joyce Cook donated it to the Historic Grand Cane Association. At that time, Lod & Carole Cook sponsored the move of the house to the land (donated by the Smith family heirs) where the Smith family home stood at the corner of Hwy. 3015 and 5th Street in Grand Cane, Louisiana. Through the efforts of numerous generous supporters, the house has been remodeled and is once again in use. The multi-purpose facility houses the Historic Grand Cane Association office and is used for fund-raising and community activities.
The Cook-Hill House In order to sustain the maintenance and improvement of the house and grounds, space is rented for social activities and the upstairs bedrooms and baths offer a unique Bed & Breakfast experience.
The Cook-Hill House is a lovely, turn of the century, “Queen Anne Victorian ” house, circa 1850. The beautiful, historic, old home is maintained by the Historic Grand Cane Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the Village of Grand Cane, Louisiana.
Presently the downstairs rooms are available for rental for weddings, receptions, birthday and anniversary parties, reunions and various other social events. The rental fee includes the use of a “caterer's kitchen ” and available furniture.
