Regarding Martin Place. The Martin Place Historic District is a group of late nineteenth and early twentieth century homes. It is an excellent collection of such architectural styles as Queen Anne, Italianate, Craftsman, and American Four-Square. As the map on the marker shows, the district is composed of the north and south sides of Martin Place and three houses on the west side of N. Main Street. In a city with an abundance of nineteenth century houses, the district is one of Franklin's best collections of representative examples. Martin Place is an attractive tree-lined street reminiscent of an idyllic 19th Century home town.
Another historical marker, commemorating the first fair in Johnson County, is located in the middle of the district.
