Real Equity Group of Compass RE Commercial is pleased to present a rare opportunity to acquire 112 Bridge Street, a historically significant property located in the heart of Downtown Franklin’s Historic District. Built in 1941 and known locally as the “Old, Old Jail,” the property was purchased by the Heritage Foundation in 2013 and fully restored by 2016, reopening as The LeHew Magid Big House for Historic Preservation. The building has since served as the Foundation’s headquarters and is currently open for public tours Monday through Friday.
The property offers 55 marked on-site parking spaces, a rarity in the downtown core, and a recently renovated third floor, which includes a large conference space. Its flexible layout makes it an ideal fit for a financial services firm, private equity group, technology headquarters, or a preservation-focused organization seeking a high-profile presence in the heart of Franklin.
Located just steps from Main Street and the Public Square, the building is walkable to award-winning dining, shopping, and civic landmarks. Zoned First Avenue District (to be confirmed) and covered by the Historic Preservation Overlay, the property maintains its architectural integrity while allowing for a variety of professional uses.
With First Avenue District zoning and proposed restrictive covenants (available upon request under NDA), this property is well-positioned for a buyer committed to honoring its historic value. These are the kinds of buildings that rarely come to market — cornerstones of Franklin’s built history that offer both immediate usability and long-term upside.
While available individually, 112 Bridge Street may also be acquired as part of a portfolio with adjacent 108 Bridge Street.
Additional property information, including zoning details, proposed covenants, and building improvements, is available upon request and subject to NDA.
