Background/Staff Comments

The purpose of this ordinance is to zone 419 Murfreesboro Road into the Historic Preservation Overlay (HPO). This property contains a single-family house that dates to ca. 1870. The principal dwelling on the property is a notable example of a 19^th-century Italianate style dwelling update into the Colonial Revival style in the mid-20^th century.  Originally constructed ca. 1870, the two-story dwelling was built with Italianate detailing such as arched, paired casement windows and paired eave brackets at the cornice.

The historic and architectural surveys of Williamson County that were conducted in the 1980s did not include this property due to its mid-20^th century appearance.  Following the purchase of the property in 2018, the ca. 1870 character of the dwelling became evident, and the property is now proposed for rehabilitation and inclusion within the Franklin HPO.

As an advisory body on the identification and designation of historic properties, the Franklin Historic Zoning Commission (HZC) considered a recommendation request from the applicant regarding the proposed HPO district rezoning at its July 9, 2018 meeting.  The HZC approved a favorable recommendation to the FMPC and the Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) for the rezoning of this property into the HPO district, based on the property’s historic and architectural significance to the overall community.
