The Branaman Property at 522 W. Spring St., in Brownstown, Indiana, is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Jackson County. It’s elevated presence from street level view, has commanded the attention of passers-by since only a few years after the Civil War. Built in 1868, the Branaman home and its 1.5 acre plot has become somewhat iconic to the city of Brownstown. Its boundaries straddle the width of an entire block with the home facing Spring Street, and the back of the property fronting Walnut Street. Originally platted with 7 city tracts and 5 alley ways, the property has a lot of potential for a single owner or developer. Though the home had fallen into regrettable neglect, the “bones” of this structure still appear solid and recoverable to the right buyer. It would be entirely possible to preserve and improve the home’s outward appearance, while tastefully adding-on to suit a new owner or contractor’s discretion. Though it would be a shame not to incorporate this landmark residence with renovation and new construction, it will be to the new owner’s discretion to utilize what they deem salvageable. This would include all present structures and features, including the carriage building/garage, small out building, steps, and what once was a goldfish or coy pond. The property is also partially wooded and landscaped with a few flowering trees and scrubs. The Branaman home could be raised, remodeled, added to, or repurposed to serve the property in a totally different way. There are many options for the new owner. After years and years of neglect and abandonment, people in Brownstown are excited and eager to see new interest in arguably the most recognizable property in the county. Jackson & Darlage Property Investors, LLC, have taken great pride in recovering, and doing the initial clean-up of this property in order to attract the interest of a passionate single owner, or developer who possesses the vision to take the Branaman Property to the next level.
