OLDE NAPLES. Palm Cottage, built by famous newspaperman Walter Haldeman, is the second oldest home in Naples. This 19th century home was built entirely of local materials and now provides visitors the chance to see firsthand what life was like in another era. In the post-World War II era, the home provided the setting for celebrity parties that were attended by the likes of Gary Cooper. Tours are given for only two and a half hours daily.
