Wellesley Cottages is the name of a street and three cottage-style buildings built in 1886-1887 by William Hooker from the plans that won him an architectural award in 1851 at the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London. The cottages in the middle are row houses for labourers while the two cottages at each end were for supervisors. Wellesley Cottages is a private street not owned by the City of Toronto but by its residents who are responsible for its maintenance such as for sewers and snow removal.
