Stewart-Merry House
151 E. Ocala Dr. James Stewart built a two- room log office on this site in 1855, which is the basis for designating this house as the oldest in Micanopy and one of the few antebellum homes in Florida. Added before 1872 were two upper stories, a kitchen ell, storage, and servants quarters. John Duskin Merry owned it from 1916 to 1945.
