Information

The Hotel Seanor was located on this corner in the latter 1800s. In 1897 B.D. McClure purchased the building spending the immense sum of $25,000 in renovations. The two-year remodeling project included a 34-foot bar of solid mahogany. In March 1900 the McClure Hotel opened boasting, "Not the biggest but the best".

Around 1915 the building was purchased by Robert Anderson to house his furniture store. Extensive renovation in 1999 preserved much of the 3rd floor hotel layout, resulting in awards from the Oil Heritage Region and the Franklin Historic Preservation Association. This well-preserved structure has handsome Italianate and Classical detailing. Note the interesting roof detail.
