Coco Plum Woman's Club, Historic clubhouse in Coral Gables, United States.
Coco Plum Woman's Club is a Mediterranean Revival building located on Sunset Drive featuring design elements typical of 1920s Florida architecture. The structure displays period details including its facade, interior layouts, and ornamental features that reflect the construction style of that era.
The club was established in 1912 and its current building was constructed in 1926 as membership and activities expanded. The design reflects the architectural preferences and development patterns that shaped Coral Gables during that period.
The club takes its name from the cocoplum fruit growing locally, and its 1926 Mediterranean Revival clubhouse has hosted meetings and dances. In peacetime it also ran a community library, a clinic and a pre-school, and during both World Wars members joined homefront efforts, with their American Red Cross work in World War II well regarded across Florida.
The building can be viewed from the street to appreciate its exterior architecture and historical features. Those interested in visiting the interior or attending events should inquire ahead with the organization to learn about current opportunities and access.
The clubhouse joined the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 2005, under the Clubhouses of Florida's Woman's Clubs Multiple Property Submission, a listing that groups it with other women's club buildings statewide. The club itself began in 1912 with eight members and took its name from the local cocoplum fruit.
