@jamiepeva: Henry D. Cooke was a real mover and shaker in late 19th-century Georgetown. A transplant from Ohio, he put his stamp on the town. Not only did he build Cooke’s Row where he lived with his wife and children, but he also led a fascinating life despite facing frequent misfortunes. He was an American financier, journalist, railroad executive, and politician, as well as the younger brother of Philadelphia financier Jay Cooke. A key figure in the Republican political scene in post-Civil War Washington, D.C., Cooke was appointed the first territorial governor of the District of Columbia by Ulysses S. Grant. ⁠ ⁠ #GeorgetownRealEstate #HistoricHomes #DCCharm #GeorgetownHistory #LuxuryLiving #WashingtonDCHomes #TimelessElegance #LocalHeritage #ExclusiveProperties #GeorgetownGems
