65. Milton Clubhouse. 6861 Oak Street. Circa 1938. New England. In 1913, The Milton Civic League was formed with the goal of making Milton a
"cleaner more beautiful and more modem city to live." The league worked to remove billboards, plant trees and beautify parks. They also focused on improving education and the school buildings. In 1914, the Civic League was invited to join the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs, and they did. In 1928 land was deeded to the Women's Club by the Faircloth Family. Subsequently, in 1938 the Women's Club built a Cape-Cod building as a community clubhouse, and that is the building which still stands today.
