Historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). "The Stuart Downtown Historic District, located south and downhill from the uptown district [also listed on the NRHP], represents a second wave of commercial and industrial development in Stuart, spurred by the arrival of the Danville & Western Railway in 1884. The 8.24-acre downtown district lies adjacent to the former railroad and the Mayo River. Although the railroad tracks, turntable, and depot no longer exist, 16 contributing commercial and industrial buildings, constructed between the late 1800s and the 1960s, create a cohesive district."
