Two buildings, Stuart Ice Company on the right. Built in 1924 by Fred E. Murphy on the east side of the FEC railroad tracks, north of Casa Lumber and south of Florida Power and Light.
Located on the north shore of the St. Lucie River, this building was originally a residence, then expanded to be an ice plant. By 1912, R.A. Hammond and Harry Dutton converted it to the Florida Freezer and Fertilizer Company, which froze and shipped fish and ground the unusable portions into fertilizer. However, sharks destroyed the fishing nets and the business floundered. In the 1920s, Carroll Dunscombe used the building as a pineapple packing plant until hurricanes and a fire in 1928 left the building abandoned. Labeled "Ale House and Pineapple Factory, Gosling."
