Franklin Grove Estate & Gardens
Cyril, in association with Belinda Stewart Architects, a Mississippi firm specializing in historic preservation and buildings in historic settings, is the architect for the largest project ever undertaken by the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County, formed in 1967. The five acre site was the home to O’More School of Design for forty years and the recorded history of the site dates back to the early 1800’s. The two historic homes will be renovated as an art museum and entrepreneur center. A 1926 Rosenwald school will be relocated to the site. An event venue, the Hall, will be constructed, and three and a half acres of gardens will make this site a unique and wonderful destination to local Franklinites and those traveling from distant cities.
