CATCH Franklin Light & Power Mill

Historic Workforce Housing Rehabilitation/ Reuse

Franklin, New Hampshire

Warrenstreet was retained to provide architectural design services from conceptual design through construc"on

administra"on for the 50,000 SF renova"on of this historic 1895 riverfront mill located in downtown Franklin. The 19

one-bedroom and 26 two-bedroom units provide quality, safe, healthy and affordable workforce housing opportuni"es

and featured community design, historic preserva"on, sustainable design and permaculture elements. Throughout the

14-month construc"on period, the 1.5 acre site underwent a substan"al renova"on including demoli"on of vaults that

enclosed the original factory turbines, environmental remedia"on and waste removal. Approximately 450 windows
were replaced with design guidance and approvals of the Na"onal Park service in accordance with their historical

preserva"on standards. Warrenstreet provided interior design support as well as oversaw all supplementary engineering

coordina"on including civil, structural, and MEP services. Always maintaining the architectural and historic integrity

of the project, addi"onal spaces include large common areas, a central courtyard and community garden. Located

along the banks of the Winnipesaukee River, this project has been viewed as the first step in the downtown areas

revitaliza"on having received overwhelming support and becoming a catalyst for the increase in livability and vitality

of the area. This project received a 2018 Preserva"on Achievement award from the New Hampshire Preserva"on

Alliance. This project marked Warrenstreet and CATCH’s fourth successful housing development partnership together.
