FRANKLIN HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES 206 Franklin’s Historic Resources Local Historic Districts Lewisburg Avenue The Lewisburg Avenue Historic District consists of an outstanding collection of late-19th and early-20th century residential architecture located adjacent to the original town of Franklin boundaries. Since 1935, there has been little construction, which has helped the district retain its original appearance and character. During the 1880s and 1890s, many homes were built along this section of Lewisburg Avenue. Residences built in the district in the late-19th century included examples of the Queen Anne, Italianate, and vernacular forms of the period. Extensive construction within the district continued into the early-20th century, and several fine Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Bungalow-influenced residences were built before 1935. The Lewisburg Avenue Local Historic District is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
