Source-derived summary

The E. V. Cooke House is a historic house located northeast of Jerome, Idaho. The lava rock house was constructed in 1919 by stonemason H. T. Pugh. The bungalow-style home features a gable roof with exposed rafters, a gabled dormer with bracketed eaves, and a full porch. The home is similar in style to Pugh's E. C. Gleason House, which he built in Jerome the prior year.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 1983.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 4, 2026.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
