Franklin Village Historic District - Franklin, NY - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Franklin Village Historic District consists of 169 properties and contains a total of 248 contributing buildings and features. The majority of contributing buildings are residential (139 structures) with a total of 83 contributing dependencies. Contributing elements also include three churches, twelve commercial buildings, one industrial structure, five institutional and/or public buildings, four historic cemeteries and one monument. There are fifteen non-contributing principal buildings."
"Much of Franklin's unique character can be attributed to the architectural compatibility resulting from common scale, materials, and building traditions, and from relatively uniform building setbacks complemented by rows of large, predominantly maple, shade trees. A number of bluestone sidewalks remain intact in the village as well. These features combine to distinguish Franklin as perhaps the most intact historic village in the western Catskill Mountains."
