- Notes
- This cottage was originally owned by the Watson family in the North Ward. It was moved to Heydenshore Park in 1901 to be a cottage for Mathias Collins and his family. The cottage was demolished in the 1930s and rebuilt on the shore of Lynde Creek on the east side of Cochrane Street between Rossland and Taunton Roads. It was finally demolished in the 1950s.
Heydenshore Park was a summer resort established around 1900 east of Whitby Harbour. A number of cottages were built there starting in 1900 and were demolished in 1965 when the private park was sold to the Whitby Public Utilities Commission. In 1971 Heydenshore Park was sold to the Town of Whitby. - Date of Original
