The Franklin Downtown Commercial District, in Franklin, Kentucky, is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The listing was expanded later in the same year.^[1]

The original listing included 50 contributing buildings, including the Simpson County Courthouse which was already separately listed on the National Register.^[2]

The increase added four contributing buildings:

the Dr. J.C. Douglas House (c.1850-1875), an Italianate I-house built with common bond brick
the Southern Kentucky Sanatorium (c.1900) and Annex (1912), post-Victorian structures, and
the Grainger Apartments (1927), a Georgian Revival structure.^[3]
