Franklinton - Overdier or Harrison House

Franklinton

The Harrison House or Jacob Overdier House, located at 570 West Broad Street, is one of the few remaining original structures in the Franklinton area. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It was initially believed to have been the headquarters of William Henry Harrison during the War of 1812, but current research indicates that Harrison's headquarters was a few blocks away near Broad and Foos Streets.
