Description
"Oldest House in Naples, Florida" by Catherine Sherman.
Palm Cottage (also known as the Henry Watterson Cottage or The Cement Cottage, The Parmer Home, or Hamilton House) is the oldest home in Naples, Florida. Built in 1895 of tabby mortar construction, the cottage is located in the Naples Historic District at 137 12th Avenue South, (at Gulfshore Blvd.) a block East of Naples Pier. The cottage was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
It was the summer cottage of the Louisville, Ky Courier Journal and Times then owner/editor, Walter N. Haldeman. Other Louisvillians owned homes in the area in this era.
The historic home is owned and operated as a museum by the Naples Historical Society. The cottage's decor reflects the early 1900s, and include the adjacent Norris Gardens, which feature five distinct themed areas and both the garden and cottage are open for docent guided tours.
