The Benjamin Franklin

A grade I listed property, 36 Craven Street is ‘the world’s only remaining home of Benjamin Franklin’ – a founding father of the United States and a leading figure in early American history. Benjamin lived at this address for nearly 16 years (during parts of 1757–75). Known as Benjamin Franklin House, the five-storey townhouse is now a museum and education centre.
