It was completed in 1918 for Aldridge H. (Ald) Vann to designs by Raleigh architect James A. Salter.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be an excellent example of an early-twentieth-century architect-designed residence combining nationally popular styles. It is described as the only known poured concrete residence in Franklin County and as one of the finest dwellings in Franklinton, and it retains exceptional integrity of design and materials.","narrative":"Completed in 1918 at 115 North Main Street in Franklinton, this two-story brick house was designed by Raleigh architect James A. Salter for Aldridge H. Vann, who owned the local Sterling Cotton Mill founded by his father. It blends Classical Revival symmetry with Italian villa features, including a green Spanish tile roof, deep bracketed eaves, and a one-story columned front portico. The house is built of poured concrete, the only example of its kind known in Franklin County, with walls fourteen inches thick in the basement and nine inches above ground. Its interior has a hierarchical plan separating public, family and service rooms, and the twenty-four by eighteen foot reception hall holds a curving paneled stair. Salter's architectural drawings are dated February 1917, and an inscription in the attic framing is marked 1917. The house is valued for its design, its concrete construction and its high level of preservation.","period_of_significance":"1918","architect_builder":"James A.
