The Dr. Erastus Cooke House, on Main Street in Wethersfield, was built in 1855 and features a hipped roof.

Edit (7/13/08): According to an April 2008 draft of the Old Wethersfield Master Plan (available as a pdf file), “Within the village center of Wethersfield, Dr. Erastus Cooke operated a chemical factory making dyes, saltpeter, and medicines on Chemical Lane.”
