Title:   The Franklin Hotel

Description:  The Franklin Hotel was one of several small hotels and rooming
                     houses built along Kentucky, Tennessee, and Massachusetts
                     Avenues to house railroad workers and less affluent travelers
                     to Lakeland.  Most of them were demolished in the late 1950's 
                     and early 1960's.  Only the former Orange Hotel on North 
                     Kentucky, renovated for use as office and retail space in 1994, 
                     remains as an example of the the small hotels doting  the 
                     downtown area.
