About
Benjamin Franklin House is a museum in a terraced Georgian house at 36 Craven Street, London, close to Trafalgar Square in the West End of London. It is the last-standing former residence of Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. The house dates from c. 1730, and Franklin lived and worked there from 1757 to 1774, when it was owned by Margaret Stevenson. The museum opened to the public on 17 January 2006. The chairman is American-British investment banker and philanthropist John Studzinski. The house is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England for its historic association with Franklin.
