Photo of the Cookstown Creamery building, taken in 1961. The creamery originally opened in February 1929 and was equipped with a large furnace to both heat the building and supply the steam for pasteurizing the cream. By 1930 the creamery was producing an average of 1000 pounds of butter a year, which later increased to 3000 pounds a week. In 1932, butter sold for 16 cents a pound. The creamery closed in 1951. The image here shows the white creamery building on the right surrounded by tall grass, with a road running along the left. A car is just visible on the street near the horizon line.
