FRANKLIN.013.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1850. Adding to the mix of romantic styles utilized in the building of this part of Franklin Street in the antebellum period, George Washington Cooper, owner of 180 Broad Street, selected a Carpenter Gothic style for this 1850s house. Sheathed in narrow-width siding, the side-hall-plan house boasts an entry portico and 2-story side piazza with lattice columns, decorative verge board on its gable, and a cantilevered 3rd-story window with harmonious gable trim.
