Franklin— According to local historians, it was the place where a notorious 1949 murder investigation unfolded, a mother and son suspected of brutally murdering a beautiful woman, who later were sentenced to die in the electric chair. It was also the sleeping place of many restless moonshiners, arrested for illegal alcohol. Now this historic property is available to the highest bidder. The City of Franklin has declared the historic 1940’s jail, affectionately known as the “old, old jail,” and the facility behind the building as surplus property and is now accepting sealed written bids in the City’s Purchasing Office until 2:00 p.m. September 2, 2010. The two institutional structures, including the single parcel of land located at 112 and 118 Bridge Street will be sold as one package.

The structures will be open for inspection to potential bidders on August 6 and again on August 11 between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. or otherwise by appointment.
