The building that now serves as the Arboretum's visitor center first served as the gardener's cottage, carriage house and stables. Built by Theophilus P. Chandler, Jr. - in 1888, it was constructed from the same coursed and rusticated granite, irregular plan and roof style as Compton. This structure was renovated and adaptively re-used as the George D. Widener Education Center in the 1980s. A Gift Shop was added to the front of the structure and a café to the rear for visitors' enjoyment.
