Old Martin County Courthouse, Art Deco courthouse in Stuart, United States.
The Old Martin County Courthouse is an Art Deco building constructed with poured concrete walls and terrazzo floors from 1937. Its spaces display modern design elements from the 1930s and sit along Ocean Boulevard.
The building was constructed in 1937 through the Works Progress Administration program as a replacement for a former schoolhouse serving government functions since 1908. This renewal was part of modernization efforts for county administration during the Great Depression.
The building now serves as a cultural center hosting art exhibitions from local artists and community events in its spaces. Visitors can experience how the historic rooms function as a gathering place for the creative side of the region today.
The building sits in downtown Stuart and is walkable to reach when in the Ocean Boulevard area. Visitors should expect that some areas may be closed at times due to events or exhibitions taking place inside.
The building displays the historic spelling 'Court House' as two words on its original front facade. This older spelling style differs from the single-word version common today and preserves a linguistic detail from the time it was built.
