26400 Redland Road (SW 187th ave), Miami FL
In 1907, the women of Redland formed the Pioneer Guild. Their motto was to do the most good in the most places for social, church and civic purposes. The land was donated by John Bauer, who also built an Episcopal Church and a general store at this intersection. Pioneer families hosted teas, barbecues and parties to raise funds to build the hall. This wooden structure, built in 1912, contained a stage and dance floor and soon became the center of social activity in Redland. During the summer, volunteers taught children art, dancing and etiquette. Pioneer Guild Hall is the last remaining building found at this important historic crossroad of Redland Road and Bauer Drive, SW 264th Street. A historic marker on the corner tells a brief history of the structure. |
