108 Franklin Street

Henry Maynard was instrumental in opening up this area for residential development. He filed the original sub-division plan for Massasoit St. in 1869, and was prominent in the development of Franklin Street, having houses built for tenement purposes, and selling them later. The 1895 atlas shows nine houses on Franklin St. owned by Mr. Maynard,including this one.

This house is two stories tall with gable end to the street, and a three-bay facade with six over six sash windows. A one-story porch covers the facade and is composed of shed roof, square posts with decorative brackets and a clapboard base.
