Woman's Club of Palmetto

Woman's Club of Palmetto is a clubhouse and event venue in Palmetto with concrete block and stucco walls located at 910 Sixth Street West. The structure includes one and two-story sections that together create flexible spaces for community use.

The organization started in 1900 as the Village Improvement Association and received its official charter as a Women's Club in 1916 under local leadership. The current building complex was constructed in 1930 following a major redevelopment of the site.

The building once housed the first cinema in Manatee County and remains a gathering place for weddings, community meetings, and celebrations. Locals continue to use it for important life events and social occasions.

The property is open to the public and has been renovated for accessibility with improved infrastructure and outdoor areas. Visitors can explore the venue during daytime activities or scheduled events.

The building design came from architect Fred Kermode, whose wife served as Club President and Building Committee Chair during construction in 1930. This was an unusual professional partnership between the architect and the client for that era.
