Built in 1901, this house served as the parsonage for the presiding elder, or district superintendent, of the Waxahachie District of the Northwest Texas Conference of the Methodist Church for more than 40 years. Mrs. M.J. Cooke, for whom the house was built, sold it to the Methodist Conference in 1902. The Rev. O.F. Sensabaugh was the first of 13 church officials to reside there. The house features late Victorian-era detailing in its porch, windows, and gables, and it was entered in the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 and designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1988.
