In 1915, McNaughton and Raymond of Portland, designed The Franklin Apartments, a three-story
masonry structure in the early 20th Century Colonial Revival style. 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.

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.

her dream was to exceed all expectations, providing futuristic architecture
with modern conveniences and unsurpassed views in a superior downtown
location.
Her passion was so great that she spent over ten years planning and
designing the most up to date apartment complex in the Pacifi c Northwest.
