Queen Anne Cottage and Coach Barn is a National Register of Historic Places structure (site #80000804) and a California Historical Landmark (#367) on the grounds of the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in Arcadia, California. It was placed on the Register in 1980 for its significance as an example of Queen Anne Style architecture and for the associated, largely intact Victorian landscape.[3]

The Cottage was constructed in 1885-1886 for Elias Jackson "Lucky" Baldwin and his fourth wife, Lillie Bennett, the daughter of the Cottage's architect Albert A. Bennett. Upon E.J.'s death in 1909, his daughter Anita closed the Cottage and disposed of all furnishings. Some of the architectural elements of the Cottage, such as the stained glass windows, black walnut doors, and marble fireplace mantels were stored in the coach barn. The stored items were reinstalled in the Cottage during the 1951-1953 restoration.[4]

The Cottage has been used for numerous films and television shows, most famously for the opening of Fantasy Island where the character of Tattoo can be seen ringing the bell in the cottage's tower and Mr. Roarke is seen exiting from it.[5]

In 1993 the "X"-pattern fencing around the Queen Anne Cottage was refurbished and repaired as part of an Eagle Scout project by Erik Wanson, a member of Boy Scout Troop 351 in San Marino, California.

In 2015, public tours commenced, opening the Cottage and Coach Barn to visitors on a regular basis. The tour consists of a walk through the Arboretum and a tour inside both the Cottage and the Coach Barn, detailing the history of the gardens, Lucky Baldwin's story and the architecture of the house.
