"It is well known that Franklin has grown rapidly for several decades. "Progress" sometimes meant that old or historic structures were in the way - and that usually meant demolition.
However, Paul Compton, a long time resident, had other ideas and from the late 1960s he engineered the relocation of 5 houses, at least one dating back to the 1840s, to a new neighborhood along Pond Street. Paul will explain why and how he pulled off this accomplishment and will provide a slide show illustrating the process."
