This was the cottage of Miss Fitzpatrick, the tutor for the Dickey children. Her cottage became the original building that Bowman and Grace Price aquired in 1931. Soon after, this and other cottages became known as Price's Cottages, eventually renamed 'Tween Waters Inn, the first Captiva property to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
