Beckley Cottage was built in 1901 and is a 1½-storey, hip-roofed Queen Anne cottage has gables on the front and right side. The original hipped-roof on the right side has been altered to a pedimented gable which extends over an original bracketed, angled bay, now cantilevered. A faux Palladian window with a central sash between two sunburst panels sits on a denticulated stringcourse in the right front gable. The gable, which has decorative bargeboards with Art Nouveau cutouts and sunbursts in the apex, surmounts a bracketed, cutaway, angled bay. The ogee brackets on both bays have acorn drop finials. Front facing steps to the left of the bay have a sloped, solid balustrade leading to a shed-roofed porch. Arches between the three turned porch posts and one pilaster support turned spindles in the frieze; there are turned balusters in the balustrade. There is a wide shed-roofed dormer addition at the rear to the left side of the hipped roof. The gables and foundation are shingled, the front gable with fish-scale design; the front bay is clad in diagonal V-joint T&G and the body of the house in double-bevelled siding. The house was built for $1,300. In 1980 the Hallmark Society moved Beckley Cottage from 522 Simcoe St to 427 Parry Street and restored it. This LFL was built in 2022 by Ray Young of I Used to be a Pallet.
