General Note
The Andrew D. Gwynne Institute opened for classes on October 20, 1911 in Fort Myers, replacing the former Lee County High School. It was named for Colonel Andrew D. Gwynne, a wealthy cotton broker and wholesale grocer from Memphis, Tennessee who had a winter residence in Fort Myers. The Gwynne family donated $8,000 toward the school. In 1914, another high school was constructed and the Gwynne Institute building became an elementary school.
