- Description
- Located on the southeast corner of King Street East and Henry Street, a pillar which stands in front of the King Apartments is all that remains.
- Notes
- Built in 1884 by Agnes Heath of Toronto when her daughter Emily married D'Arcy Boulton who owned The Lawn. Heathcote and The Lawn shared a common boundary and both were built to be lived in year round rather than just as a summer home.It was bought by W.F.Ladd a wealthy Texas businessman in the cotton industry in the 1890s who enlarged it to the size seen in the old photographs. It then sold to Frank Hess from Philadelphia and then to Mrs. Dumble in 1920, who also now owned The Lawn. She had Heathcote demolished and made its grounds part of her lawn in 1930.
