Photo of the exterior of the Cookstown Parsonage or manse, a clergy house inhabited by the local minister of the Methodist (later United) church located next door, which can be seen to the right of the house in the photo.. The building itself boasts distinctive architecture with a rounded front right side of the house capped with a unique rounded roof while the rest of the building has a regular open gable roof and surrounding verandah with white window trims and eaves. As of 2014 the building remains largely unchanged. The United Church boasts a square tower and pointed arch windows.
