The Elms (Paul D. Camp House)
1889, later alterations. 717 Clay St.
Of Franklin's houses easily the most prosperous and well set back on its own large plot is this one, built by the founder of the Union Camp Corporation. The brick walls, based on designs in Queen Anne pattern books, were later stuccoed. The house still has broad verandas and tall brick chimneys with corbeled caps. Decorative iron cresting tops the large hipped roof.
