A view of the exterior of the Cookstown Methodist Church prior to the fire of 1914 that destroyed it. The view shows the front entrance facing Queen Street as well as the rear side entrance facing Dufferin Street. The building bears many features that were recreated once the building was reconstructed, including the Gothic style pointed arch windows. An oil lamp is also visible in the foreground. These lamps were lit each night by Jack Heaslip and Mrs. Mel McFadden. The Methodist Church eventually became the Cookstown United Church.
