Hatch House

In 1874, Bishop L. H. Hatch built a mansion that has been preserved as a fine example of pioneer Idaho architecture

Idaho's only railroad, serving Montana's thriving mining camps, reached here that year--a time of depression between gold rushes, when Franklin was Idaho's largest city. Two years later, rail construction resumed, and freighters moved on. But Hatch's elegant house remains as a reminder of a bygone era.
