- 602 N Fulton Ave – The first and largest of the three mansions built back in 1877 by F W Cook (father). He was president and general manager of the F W Cook Brewing Co. It was torn down in the winter of 1984-5 and is now the site of Inweld Corp
- 620 N Fulton Ave – Charles Cook, president of the Home Realty Co, built this brick Queen Anne in 1898. It was torn down in 1998 after standing for a century and is now a side lot for the Henry Cook house
- 610 N Fulton Ave – Henry Cook (son) was the vice president of F W Cook Brewing Co and secretary and treasurer of the F W Cook Investment Co. This colonial revival house was built by Harris & Shopbell in 1899. It is now the only home left standing, however the building is in serious disrepair. It is on the Preservation Alliance of Evansville’s Top 10 Endangered List, and a recent, though incomplete, paint job hints of some hope for the home.
