Built in 1895, the Historic Palm Cottage is the oldest house in Naples, showcasing the architectural style and materials typical of that era.
The cottage is constructed using tabby mortar, a concrete-like mixture made from sand, water, and shells, which was a common building material in the late 19th century.
The Naples Historical Society operates the cottage as a museum, offering guided tours that provide insights into the early days of Naples.
The Norris Gardens at Palm Cottage feature native Florida plants and are designed to reflect the historical landscape of the area.
The cottage was originally built for Walter N. Haldeman, who was instrumental in the construction of the Naples Pier, a key landmark in the city.
The Naples Historical Society has been dedicated to preserving Palm Cottage since 1962, ensuring its historical integrity and educational value.
