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.[2][3] It served as a general store for the thriving Redlands agricultural community until the 1930s, when it was converted into apartments.[2][3] Condemned in 1975, it was granted a reprieve for rehabilitation, and was eventually converted into the successful Harvest House restaurant.[2][3] After being ravaged by Hurricane Andrew in 1992, the building was partially restored, although it has remained vacant since.[3]
On October 18, 1977, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1] It was designated a historic building by Miami-Dade County in 1981.[2] As of 2019, it is on the Dade Heritage Trust list of the 12 Most Endangered Sites in Miami-Dade County.[4]
