Notes

This cottage was located at Water Street and Dunlop Drive (South Blair Street) and was the only cottage not demolished in 1965. After 1971, it was the home of the caretaker of the Heydenshore Pavilion. It was later demolished around 1980.

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.

Russell M. Preston was a Whitby resident for 44 years and enjoyed taking photographs of buildings around Whitby.
