The gentle oscillation of such fans became as much a part of Florida living as the sea breeze itself, cooling homes and businesses during long, humid summers.
Fan
Emerson Electric Oscillating Fan
This gleaming Emerson Electric fan represents the modern conveniences that arrived in Stuart homes during the early twentieth century, transforming daily life in Florida's subtropical climate. As the railroad brought prosperity and new residents to Stuart, electricity and electrical appliances became markers of progress and comfort in this growing Treasure Coast community.
