== Legacy and honours == ;Buildings * The popularity of the books and subsequent film adaptations is credited with inspiring the design and naming of buildings "Green Gables". An example still standing is an apartment block called "Green Gables" built in the 1930s, in New Farm, Queensland, Australia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.slq.qld.gov.au/slq-today/2016/02/15/in-search-of-anne-with-some-unexpected-discoveries/|title=In search of Anne with some unexpected discoveries|publisher= State Library of Queensland |date= 2016-02-15 |access-date=February 2, 2016}}</ref> ;Museum * [[Bala's Museum]], located in [[Bala, Ontario]], Canada, is a house museum established in 1992 and dedicated to Lucy M.
