Brunner Brothers Store, 170 South Oregon St Jacksonville, Jackson County, OR
The Brunner Brothers Store of 1855 is the oldest surviving brick structure in Jacksonville. Jacob Brunner and Henry Goldsmith originally acquired the land on which it stands from James Cluggage and Fred R. Furbay in 1853. In September 1854, Horace and Abel Reed, brick manufacturers, sold J.A. Brunner and Co. sixty thousand "good bricks suitable for building," to be delivered between April 15, and June 1, 1855. The cost was $14 per thousand, with Brunner agreeing to provide up to one-half the total value of the bricks in groceries and money as the work progressed; in return, he secured a lien on the brickyard.
