The John Cook House is a historic house at 35 Elm Street in New Haven, Connecticut. It is a Federal style stone building, built c. 1807 by John Cook, a tailor and merchant. It is one of the oldest stone buildings in New Haven.[1][3] The house has a rare feature, in that it includes quoining with sandstone, a feature not normally found in stone buildings of the period.[1] Its later owners include Charles Atwater, Jr., and a number of local health service organizations.[1]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[2] It is adjacent to the 1828 Caroline Nicoll House, another NRHP-listed building.[1]
