At the time this was drawn, it must have still been used as a store and a museum, now it is only the museum.

The Stuart Heritage Museum at 161 Southwest Flagler Avenue in Stuart, Florida, is a local history museum located in an historic 2-story frame building built in 1901 by George W. Parks. Parks used the first floor of the building for his Geo. W. Parks Grocery and General Merchandise Store and second floor for his home. In 1913, the building became the Stuart Mercantile Company and in the 1960s after a series of uses, it became the Stuart Feed Store. In 1989, the Stuart Feed Store was listed in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture. As of now, it is no longer used as a store, it is only the Museum.

The museum houses over 10,000 artifacts from the 1880s to the 1950s.
