Description:
114 E Franklin is on both the National Register of Historic Places and VA Landmark’s Register. The only structure on Richmond’s historic Linden Row that is not a part of the Linden Row Inn, this magnificent property features four stories including an English basement, for over 8,000 square feet of space. Originally built in 1847, the addition in 1917 nearly doubles the interior space. With much of the original interior remaining, such as the original 1847 Belgian marble fireplace surrounds, Victorian fireplace mantles, elaborate ceiling plaster design surrounding the antique Celtic Victorian chandeliers, and heart pine flooring. These original accents are ready for your custom build-out. You’ll also find various period trim, doors, and hardware that were spared from previous renovations. Whether its living space, office space, or a combination of the two, 114 E Franklin is ready to be finished however you choose. The double front doors feature elaborate 19th Century Italianate etched glass set in a Grecian Doric porch entrance. Separating the building from the street is a stone retaining wall with an ornate iron fence, and off-street parking is available in the rear.
The B-4 zoning offers several use options. State and federal tax credits have not been taken on the property and are still available, click here for more information. 114 E Franklin is also an ideal candidate for the city’s real estate tax abatement program.
As much a part of Richmond’s history as Monument Avenue or St. John’s Church, Linden Row is arguably the finest example of Urban Greek Revival architecture in the United States. Located on Franklin Street in the heart of downtown Richmond, 114 East Franklin Street is situated in the historic Monroe Ward neighborhood. The Richmond Public Library’s main branch is directly across the street, and the State Capitol, the Jefferson Hotel and Virginia Commonwealth University are within walking distance. Much has been written about this celebrated row of townhomes, focusing on both the architecture as well as its colorful tenants (legend has it that there was a garden on the site of 114 East Franklin that Edgar Allen Poe played in as a child). Local lore aside, this is a fantastic property rich with history that will be sold to the highest bidder.
Directions:
From Belvidere, head east on Franklin Street (toward Downtown). Property is on the left between 1st and 2nd streets, across from the Richmond Public Library.
