'''Mallinson Cottage''' is a two-story [[Tudor%20Revival|Tudor Revival]]-style residence designed by Scopes and Feustmann, (one of eight buildings extant in 1993) built after 1915 when the institution was renamed [[Trudeau%20Sanatorium|Trudeau Sanatorium]]. [[Joseph%20Hayes|Joseph Hayes]], Trudeau Sanatorium's superintendent of construction, was responsible for the work. Similar to Blumenthal in its Tudor Revival style, the building housed married laboratory workers in two apartments. The foundation and first story are of square-cut ashlar with visible drill marks laid in irregular courses. The second story is half-timber and stucco and the roof is slate. The residence is rectangular in plan with a hipped roof and central chimney. There is a full-height projecting gabled bay. The original attached garage has folding three-panel doors.

A bronze plaque mounted on the southeast corner of the outside wall and ornamented with a spray of maple leaves reads:

In loving memory of their daughter Lorna<br>Hiram R. and Linda V. Mallinson have erected this building<br>For love, for hope, for humanity
