Here is an excerpt from one of the homes on this tour currently being restored:

Samuel Dale House - 1409 Elk Street: Samuel Dale, a promient Franklin oil and business man and a member of one of the first families to settle in the area, had this house constructed by local builder John Brady in 1874. It is an imposing version of the Second Empire Style which became popular after the Civil War. The tall heavily hooded windows and doors are crowned by a concave mansard roof with bracketed eaves. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
