Palm Cottage is 102 years old and the second oldest house in Collier County. The house was built in 1895 for Henry Watterson, the famous editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. The walls are of tabbie mortar which is a process of burning seashells over buttonwood. This produces an intensely high heat.  In the process, the shells are mixed with lime and seawater to produce the mortar. Palm Cottage has been placed on the state register of historic sites and included in the National Register of Historic Places.
