Regarding Burn Brae Plantation Krueger House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination, quoting Albert R. Krueger from an interview that appeared in The Stuart Messenger on June 27, 1918:
As the family came (1894-1897) additional rooms were necessary and we had to build on and incidentally we dispensed with the big umbrella that we always raised over the bed when it rained, also keeping out the starlight. We built and added on until we are as we are now. The old house still stands in the orchard and for many years was the home of 'our man Friday', Albert Thompson, who is still with us. Our home is called 'Burn Brae.' I named it in honor of my Scotch wife.

2. Historical Vignettes: Stuart's spirited pioneer Krueger family. Stuart locals affectionately called Albert Krueger "Dude" because he often wore a suit, complete with stiff white collars, fancy tie and a derby hat. He married the local school teacher and became a successful pineapple grower. (Alice L. and Greg E.
