The Gardener's Cottage, also known as the Kew Williams House, was built in 1902 by Kew Williams for his wife in what is now Kew Gardens Park, Toronto. The heritage-designated, Queen Anne Revival-style cottage was constructed using local limestone and shale, gathered by Kew and his brothers from Lake Ontario.
The cottage was sold to the City of Toronto in 1907 and later served as a residence for the park's caretakers before becoming a community event facility.
