Franklin Five Points
photo by Donna Vissman

Each day, we will bring you a photo of the day, showcasing the sights of Williamson County (and beyond). Whether it’s a photo of a local landmark, a park, a photo from an event or just a great photo from the area, we want to showcase our local communities throughout the next year.


 

Today’s photo is of Five Points Post Office in downtown Franklin. The Five Points Post Office was erected in 1924. By 1991, the building was placed on one the most endangered sites in America by the National Trust for Historic Preservation due to the fact the United States Post Office announced its closure. The building was purchased by the City of Franklin in 2007 who sublet the building to FirstBank with the condition it remain a post office for the next twenty years. Today, it serves as a contractor post office outlet serving those in downtown Franklin.

We invite you to submit your original photos!
