This small red brick building located on the north side of Franklin Boulevard across the street from Lutheran Hospital's main hospital building is one of the few historic buildings in the Franklin Circle area that was preserved by Lutheran Hospital as the hospital grew and expanded its campus over the last 116 years. According to newspaper accounts, the Franklin House was constructed in circa 1854 and originally served as the fire house for the Ohio City volunteer fire brigade. Later, it became the carriage house and stable for the Daniel P. Rhodes estate. The building was moved to its current location in 1978. | Creator: Jim DubelkoDownload Original File
