Photo of the exterior of a house, which would later become the location for the Cookstown Medical Group. The photo shows a large red brick two storey residence located on the south side of Queen Street with a man and woman standing on the walkway leading to the front porch and door. The home was owned by Mr. and Mrs. J. Fisher before it was sold and became doctors' residences and offices. Doctors based out of the build included Dr. V.S.B. Sheir, Dr. W.J. Scott, Dr. Symington, Dr. Charlie Carr, and Dr. D.W. McFarland. Dr. McFarland and family Joanne, Judy, Janet, Bill, and John resided here until 1972 when they purchased property and built a home on the 8th concession of Essa Township. The verandah of this house was eventually removed by Dr. C. Carr. The exterior was covered with white stucco and marked in a brick-like fashion by Dr. McFarland about 1965 and the maple trees in front of the house that lined the street were eventually removed. Roll No. 150-00; snapshot donated by Mrs. Lorne Magloughlen (née Marie Spindloe).
