Francis T. Cocke built this house in 1929. Cocke was the son of George F. Cocke, a
farmer who came to Arizona at the turn of the century. George F. Cocke served in the
Arizona House of Representatives in 1912. Francis T. Cocke operated this acreage as a
dairy farm until 1943, when he moved to a house at 1320 S. Priest (HPS-178, the
Still/Cocke House). The property was still owned by the Cocke family in 1983.
The Cocke House was a single-story brick building with a medium-pitched roof, and is
rectangular in mass. Gable ends were shingled. The portico was centrally placed on the
main facade and had a gable roof perpendicular to the main mass roof, supported by two
simple classical columns resting on bases on the concrete portico floor. Windows were
paired and double-hung. An addition at the rear had a hip roof.
