Stuart Hall Building

Stuart Hall Building is a seven-story brick structure on Central Street featuring tall windows and industrial design characteristic of early 20th-century manufacturing buildings. Its interior has been modernized with contemporary residential amenities while retaining original brick ovens and structural elements that define the loft character throughout.

The building was constructed in 1910 as a manufacturing facility for the National Biscuit Company, later serving as a warehouse for paper products. Its conversion to residential lofts in 2004 marked a turning point in the revitalization of the Crossroads Arts District.

The building now houses artists and creative professionals in its converted lofts within the heart of the arts district. Its residential use has shaped the neighborhood's identity as a hub for contemporary art and alternative urban living.

The building is easily accessible via Central Street and centrally located within the arts district with walking access to galleries and local shops. Visitors should note this is an active residential building where only public areas are accessible, as lofts are privately occupied.

The building housed the Stuart Hall Company for several decades, producing and distributing school supplies like spiral notebooks and writing papers under its name. These educational products were found in classrooms across the country during the mid-20th century.
