Brunner Building - Jacksonville Historic District - Jacksonville, Oregon - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

The Brunner Building, built in 1855, is the oldest surviving brick building in Jacksonville. It was built for Jacob Brunner, who used it for operation of a store with a partner, Henry Goldsmith, until 1860 when Goldsmith sold his share to Brunner.

For a time, the middle bay of the building was converted into a garage door with windows on either side. Later a pillar was added in the center, creating two modern sized door openings on either side, although at the present only one is used as a door.

For many years, the building served as a branch of the Jackson County Library. The library now has a new building behind the Post Office, a few blocks south, and the Brunner Building hosts a shop called "Old Library Collectibles.
