Located on First
street, the Chadwick House was built in 1925 by
Clarence E. Chadwick, inventor of forgery-proof paper for bank checks,
and his wife, Rosamond, a nationally known concert singer. The Chadwicks
farmed their own strain of key limes, the Chad Limes, on Captiva in
the 1920's and in the 1930's began renting out worker's cottages as
vacation homes.
In 1942, the Chadwicks moved into their home on First street, where
Clarence lived until he died in 1947. Garvin and Tripp have maintained
law offices in the home since 1976.
