Abstract

James Stewart & Co., known locally as ‘Stewarts’. Established by Scotsman James Stewart (1837–1923), managed by generations of the Macfarlane family. Stewarts has occupied the same prominent position in central Rockhampton since 1864, still trading there today. Its substantial building on the corner of East and Denham Streets has undergone several updates and rebuilds since its establishment, but has remained at the heart of Central Queensland retail. In addition to its flagship store, Stewarts also operated smaller outpost branches in Mount Morgan, Longreach, Blackall, and Barcaldine
