This home on Elk Street was built in the late 1870s and remodeled into the Queen Anne Style. The battlement tower that was added at a later date is an interesting feature of this home. In 1878 Joseph Riesenman, owner of a drug store in Franklin was the owner of this home. Cecilia Reese Riesenman, wife of Joseph, died in 1934 and after Joseph died in 1943, their daughter Florence Seyfried lived in the home until the 1960s.
