I’ve been to Franklin, Ind., on multiple occasions, most of the time to visit a good friend, Garry Petersen, in the 1980s and ’90s before he and his wife moved to Greenwood, Ind., in the 2000s. I got the inspiration to do a shoot in Franklin’s downtown area — including the distinguished Johnson County Courthouse — from those visits.
In summer 2009, I drove to Franklin to make the pictures you see in this post. For reasons I’m not sure of today, I never did a blog post about that shoot even though I’d launched the blog about a half-year earlier.
So I present pictures from that shoot here today in the second of this blog’s latest “Chapter” series, Catching Up ... on pre-blog years. Leading off the post is an exterior shot of Beeson Hall, a cultural and recreation center at adjacent to the Franklin College campus. The hall also has space to serve as a rental banquet facility.
Above: a view of Jefferson Street, the city’s main east-west thoroughfare, looking west with the county courthouse clock tower in the background on the left.
Above and below: Sections of the businesses on E. Court Street across the street from the courthouse.
A detail shot of window on a downtown building (above), and a section of businesses (below) along the south side of Jefferson Street across from the courthouse.
