At Home: In Franklinton

Chris Sherman wasn’t really looking to call Franklinton home when he came across a unique property a few years ago. At the time, he was working his construction business and had a garage, a shop and an apartment spread out in Olde Towne East and the Short North. When he found the nearly 3,000 square foot space in Franklinton, he knew he would be able to consolidate everything and make his life much easier. The area was a much better and more convenient location to many of his clients and to downtown and nightlife. The space was pretty raw and he has converted it into a workspace and a living space. His ultra-modern, contemporary minimal style fits the space well. He finds much of his design inspiration from his work, and from magazines such as Metropolis and Dwell.

He has a pretty nice art collection, mixing things he has created himself, and pieces others have created along with things such as manhole covers and casts from hydraulic pumps from the now closed Chase Foundry.
