GOAL 3 Expand the HPO to protect historic resources using a targeted and contextsensitive approach. RECOMMENDATIONS: Define criteria for evaluating HPO expansion. Expansion of the HPO should be guided by a clear and consistent set of criteria that reflects Franklin’s local context. In addition to architectural and historical significance, evaluation should consider factors such as development pressure, neighborhood cohesion, presence of contributing resources, and the degree to which designation would meaningfully influence outcomes. Not all eligible areas require the same level of protection, and designation should be applied where it can have the greatest impact in shaping change. Expand the HPO to areas that are significant to Franklin’s early and mid-20th century history and development. Franklin’s expansion in the 20th century resulted in numerous neighborhoods featuring Bungalows from the 1920s, Minimal Traditional homes from the 1930s-1940s, and a mixture of Ranch and Split-Level homes from the 1950s-1970s. Architectural styles include Folk Traditional, Craftsman, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Contemporary. These homes also represent a large portion of Franklin’s smaller, more affordable housing options. Preserving these neighborhoods not only protects the city’s early and mid-20th century architecture and development history but also ensures that these more affordable housing types remain in use. Construction dates were obtained from the 2007 Franklin Historic Resources Survey Inventory. See the Potential Landmarks and Historic Districts map below. The consideration of new local Historic Districts include: • Murfreesboro Road from Pinkerton Park east to Ralston Lane (c. 1873-1970), including three homes on Eddy Lane; • Columbia Avenue between Jennings Street and Fairground Street (c. 1900-1972); • Battle Avenue (c. 1924-1960); • North Petway Drive (c. 1925-1948), eight homes with addresses between 413-431; • Cleburne Street (c. 1929-1965); • Eastview Subdivision (c. 1939-1961); • Green Acres Subdivision (c. 1940-1959); • Highland Gardens Subdivision (c. 1941-1967); • James Subdivision (c. 1954-1960); and • School Manor Subdivision (c. 1954-1969).
