| Historic Downtown Homestead |
- - - |
Since 1913, Homestead has been the epicenter of rural life in South Dade. In spite of a history of booms and busts, the area has managed to retain all the rustic charm of centuries past in the Pioneer Park section by Krome and Mowry.
The area is well known as a pedestrian friendly shopping zone where antique dealers and boutiques are weaved among fine eateries, specialty shops and art galleries. Several parks offer pleasant resting places; cobblestone streets and crosswalks invite strolling around.
Within Pioneer Park on N. 2nd Street, a historic library building dedicated to the memory of Ms. Lily Lawrence Bows offers a superb example of century-old oolite rock construction, a stark contrast to most homes in the newly modern neighborhood.
