The Willows Cottage is on the campus of the Willows Mansion in Villanova, and once served as the gate house for the estate, which is now the Willows Park in Radnor Township. The structure was slated to be demolished in 2008, when a group called the Friends of the Willows Cottage organized an effort to preserve the structure. Today, as a successful recipient of a Pennsylvania Conservation Works energy-efficiency grant, the Willows Cottage sustainable renovations are taking place to convert this historic building into a site for sustainability education in the community.
