Kester Cottages facts for kids
Kester Cottages at Founder's Park is a historic site operated by the Pompano Beach Historical Society in Pompano Beach, Broward County, Florida. The site includes a local history museum and exhibits from the late 1930s. They constitute the Pompano Beach Historical Museum.
The cottages are two of the perhaps 150 built in Pompano Beach by William L. Kester in the 1930s. 25 feet (7.6 m) by 35 feet (11 m), they were sturdy and economical. All were one story and painted white, with shutters decorated with the four symbols (♠♣♥♦) from a deck of cards. The price was $950.
Two cottages were donated to the Pompano Beach Historical Society in 1974. They have been moved from their original locations to Founders Park, and serve as museums of past life in Pompano Beach.
They are open to the public by appointment.
