Drawing of Browning motors, c. 1935

Large building for car sales. Published in Alice Lockhardt's book, Stuart: Images of America (p. 80), with the caption: "George H. Browning opened Browning Motors, selling Fords in Stuart in late 1922. By early 1925, Browning needed a larger building and purchased the triangular corner of Fourth Street (East Ocean) and Flagler Avenue. He sketched out plans for a new two-story block structure. The impressive first-floor showroom and offices opened March 1926 with six full-size Fords and Lincoln vehicles. The second-floor repair shop could hold 75 vehicles, which entered the top level using a ramp."
