The Franklin House was built in 1855 as the private residence of Peter Douglas, who in 1859 went on to sell it to Bennet Franklin. In 1877 the building was converted to a Hotel and Public House which eventually in 1910 under new ownership was renamed "Queen's Hotel". In 1927 it ceased to operate as a hotel with the enforcement of the Canada Temperance Act, but has continued to be used for commercial purposes.
The Franklin House has now completely renovated and serves as a bar, pub, sport bar (NHL, NFL, UFC...) and a gathering place for the locals!
Love the patio here and with the heated outdoor lamps, you can even enjoy a drink when the weather gets a little chilly.
According to sources, the ghost of a young woman named Jessie has purportedly haunted the grounds since the mid-19th century, and her presence is still felt.
If you looking for a place to chill with your friends in Streetsville, The Franklin House just might be the one!
