William Anderson General Merchandise Store

The William Anderson General Merchandise Store is a two-story wood-frame building at 15700 Southwest 232nd Street in Redland, Florida. It stands at the corner of 232nd Street and Newton Road, which gave it the name Anderson's Corner. Mr. Rawls erected the store building for William "Popp" Anderson by 1912.

William "Popp" Anderson, who had worked for railroad magnate Henry Flagler, founded the store around 1911; a man identified only as Mr. Rawls put up the wood-frame building by 1912. It served the Redlands farming community until the 1930s, when it was converted into apartments. After Anderson died in 1961, his son sold the property to James M. and Eleanor P. Cothron in 1970.

The name Anderson's Corner comes from the store's position at the corner of 232nd Street and Newton Road. Before such stores existed, Redland residents travelled about 15 miles by horse and buggy to Cutler for supplies. The building later housed the Harvest House restaurant.

The building sits at a corner location that is visible from the street, making it accessible for viewing without special arrangements. Though currently vacant, it remains easy to locate and observe from the public road as a point of historical interest.

Hurricane Andrew in 1992 shifted most of the second floor west and brought down the front gable truss, as the Miami Herald reported. In 1993 the Florida Legislature approved almost $800,000 for 11 historic sites in southern Miami-Dade County, and Anderson's Corner received $255,000 of it. The building was only partially restored and has stayed vacant since.
