Benjamin Franklin House

A museum located in a row building from the Georgian era in London, not far from Trafalgar Street. Benjamin Franklin House is the only surviving residence of the president and one of the founding fathers of the United States, who lived and worked here for sixteen years. The house dates from 1730.

The museum located at Benjamin Franklin House was opened in 2006, and its president is an American-British investment banker and philanthropist John Studzinski. The house at Craven 36 is on the list of first-class monuments and many original features have been preserved, including floorboards and ceilings, as well as staircases. In the house itself, it is worth paying attention especially to the modern replica of the glass cannon, based on the Franklin design.

The house is also associated with a story worthy of detective stories: during the renovation in 1998, 200-year-old bones of 10 people were found, including six children. It turned out that the find is due to a friend of Franklin, William Henson, who secretly conducted anatomical studies.
