Brookville

Brookville photographer Frederick E. Knapp documented the events, people, and places of Brookville, the seat of Jefferson County, between 1898 and 1945. Teacher and amateur photographer Wrayanne L. Clapie revisited those sites in 2008. Now a federally registered historic district, Brookville,s Main Street buildings, businesses and industries, schools, churches, and homes typify architecture during the last part of the 19th century and life during the first half of the 20th century, illustrating both change and preservation.
