The Franklin House is a three-story brick historic building located at 464-480 East Broad Street, in Athens, Georgia.[2] It was built in three phases between 1845 and 1860.[2] Originally a mercantile building with an antebellum hotel on the upper floors, from 1865 to 1972 it was a hardware store. In the 1970s it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in the 1980s it was restored and turned into office space and apartments.
