We're a long way from the early twentieth century Industrial Age. Some of these old factory districts have been converted into modern residential and office areas. Franklin Square in the Lakefront neighborhood of Syracuse is an example of how this type of conversion can be successful.
Today we're touring the central focus of Franklin Square- the park at the heat of the area. A Benjamin Franklin statue watches over the beautiful landscape. A magnificent fountain splashes on the other end.
The Franklin Square fountain is a gem. Many wedding photographers have captured memories for newlyweds at this fountain and we can see why.
The O. M. Edwards Building stands nearby. This 1906 construction is on the corner of Plum and Solar and is a architectural representation of manufacturing in the early 20th century.
