As we leave Emerald Bay we are able to see the other side of the “Tea House” that sits at the top of Fannette Island. The “Tea House” is not a castle but is just a 16 foot square open roofed room. It is called the “Tea Room” because it was orginially built for sitting in and having tea. Mrs. Lora Josephine Knight had this room built in 1929 so that she could enjoy the island views with her friends for an afternoon tea. Fannette Island was not always known by that name. During the past 100 years it has been known as Coquette, Fannette, Dead Man’s, Hermit’s, and Emerald Isle. Fannette was the name that finally stuck.[1]
