Palm Cottage, Historic house in Naples, Florida.
The Palm Cottage structure features tabby mortar construction methods with exterior walls made from sand, shells, and water mixed with limestone.
Walter N. Haldeman, owner of the Courier Journal and Times from Louisville, constructed this summer residence in 1895, establishing Naples' first house.
The interior decoration maintains the authentic early 1900s style, presenting furniture, artifacts, and domestic items from that specific period.
The Naples Historical Society conducts guided tours of the house and Norris Gardens from Tuesday through Saturday between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM.
The Norris Gardens surrounding Palm Cottage contain five separate themed sections, each displaying different botanical specimens native to Florida.
