5. 313 Market Street

The little house on the curve (formerly known as the Blue House) is one of the four surviving late 18th century dwellings in Town. The original 1 1/2 story log section on the right has a steeply pitched, stand-ing seam tin roof which overhangs the porch. The log is now covered with frame siding and a large brick chimney is on the outside wall. There is a two story, flat roofed, one bay frame addition to the left of the log portion. The windows are mostly 6-over-6 panes with wooden shutters. The front door in the center of the porch is a simple wood panel door. The house was the location of Mrs. Case's Candy Shop in the 1880s which delighted local children and grown-ups alike. The Cases also owned the house at 301 Market Street and land records seem to indicate that there was a connection between these two houses. The house underwent renovation in 1994.

This house has had many owners or renters. One family raised pigs in the basement which escaped one day and ended up rooting in the neighbor's garden. Recently, a wonderful photo of a three-piece orchestra on the front porch (circa 1880s) was found in the rafters. No one has yet identified the players!

The last houses on this side of Market Street before leaving Town are the 1950s brick houses set back from the street around the bend in the road. The houses were built by and still owned by the family of Lewis and David Yinger, master brick layers whose work made such an imprint on the Town during the second half of the 20th century. The land itself figured actively in the milling operations of early Brookeville.

This is another of the Brookeville properties built by the Yinger family, this one by Lewis Yinger with additions and changes by David Yinger.
