The New Franklin Building

other

The New Franklin Building wears a facade of distinctively heavy, dark terra cotta, rising above its neighbors with a series of arched windows that span its upper floors. When it opened in nineteen twelve, the structure provided a high-end home for the printing trades that defined this block. A young Ernest Hemingway once worked in these printing houses as a proofreader, often ducking into corners to write his own stories while his supervisors searched for the page proofs he had set aside.
