This house sits at the southeast corner of Market and Sixth Street. (This house was built between 1911 and 1928 because it does not appear on the Sanborn Fire Insurance Map of 1911 but it does appear in their 1928 map.)

During the 1940s, 50s and 60s this house was the home of Joe and Jane (Book) Frankhouse and their children, Marlin and Nedra. Joe operated a Buick and Pontiac dealership from the garage on the rear of the property.

Tom Boyer [see http://portroyal200.com/view.php?id=2146], a former resident of Port Royal, tells of hearing that this property at the southeast corner of Market and 6th Streets was to be the location of a new county court house had the 1868 referendum chosen Port Royal, instead of Mifflintown as the county seat. This property was likely undeveloped in 1868. Eventually the site would include the house on Market and the garage, along the alley, in the rear.
