Eau Gallie Historic District, historic district in Eau Gallie, Florida, United States

The Eau Gallie Historic District lies in Eau Gallie, Florida, not Melbourne, and holds several old buildings plus the Eau Gallie Arts District. Its Highland Avenue landmarks include the Karrick Building, built in 1924 by Jesse Karrick, and the Ginter Building, built in 1926 by Clifford Ginter. The Advent Christian Church at 1598 Highland Avenue replaced its 1914 building between 1946 and 1948, reusing most of the old materials.

The Eau Gallie Historic District grew around Highland Avenue, where the Karrick Building (1924) and Ginter Building (1926) were erected as a general store and an apartment block. The Advent Christian congregation formed in 1910 as the Second Advent Church and built its first home in 1914, replacing it with a new structure between 1946 and 1948 using most of the old materials. In 2020 the Eau Gallie Arts District marked its tenth year as a Florida Main Street America program.

The Eau Gallie Arts District, within the historic district, is a Florida Main Street Program administered by the Division of Historical Resources of the Florida Department of State. On June 18, 2020, it received its 10th year of accreditation as a Florida Main Street America, a recognition by the National Main Street Program.

The area is easy to explore on foot with open walkways and waterfront access making most buildings reachable from the main paths. Daytime visits work best for seeing galleries and shops in full activity, and the riverside setting offers natural spots to pause and take in the surroundings.

The Houston Pioneer Cemetery holds graves of the area's first inhabitants and remains largely overlooked by typical visitors exploring the district. This quiet burial ground offers a direct connection to the region's origins and the early families who settled here.
