It is located in the crossroads village of Brookeville, with almost all of the houses found along the two main streets, Market and High.

The majority of the structures were built before 1900, and range in style from the Federal-style Jordan House to the simple, vernacular cabin known as the Blue House.

The houses are built of stone, brick, and frame, and cover a period from 1779 to the 1950s.

With the exception of the Post Office and plumbing shop, the town is a residential one.
