Franklin Wesson House
Franklin Wesson House, High Gothic Victorian house in Main South, Worcester, Massachusetts.
The Franklin Wesson House features a three-story tower above its entrance, topped with a steeply pitched slate hip roof and decorative horizontal brickwork bands.
Built in 1874 by architect Amos Porter Cutting for Franklin Wesson, a founder of Harrington & Richardson arms manufacturer, the house earned National Register status in 1980.
The house represents the architectural preferences of successful industrial entrepreneurs in Worcester during the late nineteenth century manufacturing period.
Located at 8 Claremont Street in Worcester, the 2.5-story brick residence maintains its original residential function while exemplifying Gothic Revival architecture.
The structure incorporates narrow windows with rounded tops and features multiple protrusions from its rectangular base, including a major bay with its own steep roof.
