Description

Queen Anne Cottage --Located beside the natural lake in what is now the Arboretum, this guesthouse was designed and built in 1885 by Albert A. Bennett, the father of Baldwin's fourth wife. Before the cottage was completed, Baldwin and his fourth wife separated, and the cottage became a memorial to the third Mrs. Baldwin, who had died in 1881. The Cottage served as the Baldwin guesthouse on the Ranch. The Queen Anne Cottage was formally dedicated as a State Historic Landmark in 1954.
