Historic Marker
Built in 1905 by Frederick C. Franck, Jr.(1873-1954).
Santa Clara town trustee, buseinssman, and son of Senator F.C. Franck. The Frank family owned this entire block. Maude Shuild Franck (1878-1960), his wife, lived here until her death.
The house was designed by Louis Lenzen, a prominent San Jose architect, in the colonial revival style popular after the turn of the century. Major features are the square shape, hipped roof, modillion blocks under the eaves, and Coren Orile Windows on the second story.
Jacob Lenzen worked with this son, Theodore, and his nephew, Louis T. Lenzen. Their partnership was active from 1887-1910.
