The Golden Gate Building, built in 1925, is an historic office building located in the community of Golden Gate south of Stuart in Martin County, Florida. It was built by the Golden Gate Development Company to serve as the sales office for its 200 block subdivision called Golden Gate which was a part of the 1911 subdivision called Port Sewall. The Florida Land Boom, however, collapsed before it could be used as such. In 1926, it became the Port Sewall Post Office and it was later used as a church and then as an art studio, before being abandoned and falling into disrepair. In 1989, the Golden Gate Building was listed in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture, published by the University of Florida Press. In 2002, the Board of County Commissioners of Martin County bought the building in order to prevent its destruction. Exterior renovations began in 2005 and were completed in 2008. The interior renovations will be restored by 2010 with plans for the new space to be used as a public community center. #3d_modeling #CRA #early_1900s #Golden_Gate_Building #historic #Martin_County #renovated #State_Road_A1A
