Dream House-Franklin Tennessee



This beautiful house with its double porches is only a few houses down from the Courthouse. It is for sale, and it is empty. Alas a window upstairs is broken, and one wonders if this is a clue that the house would be a money pit. But imagine if you can what these porches have seen- quiet Sunday mornings, brief snows,fireflies in mid-June,and the aftermath of the killing fields of the terrible Battle of Franklin. Yes , John Bell Hood led and fought here, and as always death and disaster followed him.
