Driving through Franklin, West Virginia

Franklin is a town in Pendleton County, West Virginia, United States. The population was 721 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Pendleton County.
Much of the town was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Franklin Historic District in 1986.
Bank of Franklin (1925) Situated at the center of Franklin's commercial district, the Bank of Franklin building was constructed following the fire of 1924 to house one of Franklin's two banking institutions. The new building, constructed of brick, was designed in Neoclassical style inspired by the Beaux-Arts movement. The bank was closed after the passage of the Emergency Banking Act in 1933, along with the other two banks in Pendleton County.
Dr. Preston Boggs House (1900) Located on North Main Street, the Dr. Preston Boggs House was constructed around 1900 in an elaborate interpretation of Queen Anne Style. The house features an octagonal turret positioned on its northeast corner and multiple bay window projections. A wraparound porch on the first floor is surmounted by a smaller porch on the second floor centered on the front facade of the house.

Erected around 1900, the Ernest Bowman House also displays Queen Anne Style with projecting bays and ornate porches. The south facade of the house features a unique second story porch positioned overtop a bay window on the first floor.

    Franklin is a very attractive small town, that is off of the beaten path. The grand old historic homes described in the notes have been preserved nicely. Franklin is west of Harrisonburg, VA over the mountains. Very little if any coal was mined in the Eastern Mountains region of West Virginia, and as a result the appearance and the historic background of that part of West Virginia is quite different from the other sections of the state where coal was and is so prominent.
