Shame to see some Redlands history going to waste…read more The William Anderson General Merchandise Store (also known as Anderson's Corner) is a historic site in Redland, Florida, United States. Built in 1911 by William "Popp" Anderson, who worked for railroad magnate Henry Flagler, the wood-frame structure is located at 15700 Southwest 232nd Street. It served as a general store for the thriving Redlands agricultural community until the 1930s, when it was converted into apartments. Condemned in 1975, it was granted a reprieve for rehabilitation, and was eventually converted into the successful Harvest House restaurant. After being ravaged by Hurricane Andrew in 1992, the building was partially restored, although it has remained vacant since.

I enjoy historic building hunting and this one has been on my radar for a long time. It is located…read morein the Redlands, a rural agricultural community in Miami that took its name from the pockets of red clay that cover a layer of oolitic limestone. The Redlands produce tropical fruits, many of which do not grow elsewhere in the US. I love a trip to the Redlands which is filled with farm stands and roadside tables selling fresh grown produce. Other highlights of the Redlands include Schnebly Redland's Winery and their fruit wines, Knaus Berry Farms and their cinnamon rolls, and Robert is Here and their fresh fruit milkshakes. I especially love all of the historic buildings from the early 1900's that you can find here. This one may be the most famous of all. The William Anderson General Merchandise Store was built in 1911 by William "Popp" Anderson, who came from Indiana to join his friend and hunting partner Charles Grossman, the first settler in the area. Anderson worked for railroad magnate Henry Flagler. East of Grossmans homestead, Anderson established his own homestead in Silver Palm which used to be the name of this area which was known for it's pinelands and good hunting. He built the wood frame structure that would become his store at the midpoint of a logging road that connected the Everglades to the shipping port of Black Point in South Biscayne Bay. It was a well traveled road and across the street from the store was the Silver Palms School. Popp Anderson operated the general store selling a variety of items to residents and businesses in the agricultural community. The store was on the first floor and Andersons living quarters were on the second floor. It was the only store for 15 miles. The store was in open until the 1930's when it was converted into apartments. The building was condemned in 1975 but received a reprieve when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 18, 1977. It was listed as a historic site by Miami-Dade County in 1981 and received a restoration in 1985. In the late 1980's the building was the successful Harvest House Restaurant but it closed after suffering devastation from category 5 Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The building has remained empty ever since. It is currently on the market for 1.1 million dollars and it is completely gutted inside. The building is on the Dade Heritage Trust list of the 12 Most Endangered Sites in Miami-Dade County. I hope someone takes an interest in saving the store but it is going to take a lot of money to do so. Right now it's only residents are a bunch of stray cats. There is so much history here that it deserves another chapter.

The Chinese Bridge is an iconic landmark in Palmetto Bay.

The entrance to the trail that takes you to the bridge is a little past the Deering Estate. You can park your car on the side of the road and walk down until the road ends. That is where you pick up the trail that is only open to foot and bike traffic. Half way down the trail is the colorful bridge. The bridge was built in 1918 by Charles Deering who was a Chicago industrialist. The bridge was built to allow him to cross Cutler Creek to his retirement home. When Mr. Deering built the bridge he moved a portion of the original Cutler Road, which was located on the property he purchased that included the abandoned town of Cutler. The Chinese theme of the bridge reminded him of his travels in the Pacific as a young naval officer. I have wanted to find the bridge for quite some time. The hike to the bridge is an easy one that anyone can do. On my way to the bridge I saw a cardinal fly right past me. If you are in the area this is a very pleasant walk to take and this is a nice place to take a picture. I really like the history of this area which not only includes the Deering estate but ten thousand years of human occupation including 10,000 years of nearly continuous human occupation including Paleo-Indians, Tequesta settlements, Seminole hunting grounds, and Bahamian and Florida Cracker homesteads.

Per the US Airforce: "This particular static display was dedicated to its spot on U.S. 1 in November of 1989. Homestead ARB hosted a squadron of F-4s from 1981 to 1989. The fighter jet was introduced throughout the Air Force in 1958 and retired by the Air Force in 1996. But between the base and the city of Homestead, the static display represents much more." Certainly a cool thing to see when I used to drive around Homestead. I mean what do other local cities/towns have nearby in other parts of the county?
