The building was modern and luxurious for its time, offering studio apartments with kitchens and full bathrooms in each unit. Located adjacent to Astoria’s Downtown at 1432 Franklin Avenue, the building fortunately survived the fire of 1922 that destroyed so many properties in the nearby business district. Also fortunate, The Franklin Apartments had very few owners and very few modifications during its first 100 years. 102 years 1432 Franklin Avenue Astoria, OR 97103 Most apartments retain original woodwork, doors and window trim. Tall ceilings and large, fully- functioning double-hung six-, nine- or twelve-over-one windows allow considerable light into the units. Kitchens have original cabinets, some with glass in the cupboard doors and/or the original drain-boards in place. Claw-foot tubs sit on hexagon tile floors. Other original, unique features abound, including marble faced entry and an antiquated intercom system in working condition.
