Queen Anne Cottage and Coach Barn is a Victorian estate pair on the grounds of the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in Arcadia, California. Elias Jackson "Lucky" Baldwin, a wealthy entrepreneur, constructed the elaborate Coach Barn near Baldwin Lake in 1879, followed by the Santa Anita Ranch Guest Cottage—known as "Baldwin's Belvedere"—on a peninsula in the pond between 1885 and 1886. Both buildings exemplify Queen Anne Style architecture and sit within a largely intact Victorian landscape design garden. The complex is recognized as a California Historical Landmark and appears on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance and preservation of period landscape design.
