Lonely Planet review for Second Franklin Building

The Second Franklin Building, a 1912 factory, shows the history of printing on its tiled facade. The roof slopes to allow for a huge skylight over the top floor where books were hand bound; this building existed long before fluorescent lights or high-intensity lamps. The large windows on many of the other buildings in the area served the same purpose.
