Olga Hamilton - The 1895 Church of StuArt

Welcome to The 1895 Church of StuArt — dedicated to preserving and sharing local history, historic preservation, and art. Built in 1895 by the pioneers of Potsdam (now Stuart), Florida, the historic building is known as the Pioneer Church and is the oldest surviving church structure in present-day Martin County. 
The building’s historic significance has been recognized by the Florida State Historic Preservation Office, which stated in a letter to the City of Stuart that the property appears to meet the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Today, Robert and Olga Hamilton are restoring the original Dade County Pine beadboard interior hidden for decades behind drywall and paneling.
