Albert Swain Bryson House

The Albert Swain Bryson House, known locally as Hall of the Pines, is a historic house in Franklin, North Carolina. The 2-1/2 story brick and frame house occupies a prominent site on Pine Lane overlooking Main Street. It was built in the 1870s for Albert Swain Bryson, a prominent local farmer and magistrate. The house is a regionally rare example of vernacular Gothic and Italianate style, with steeply-pitched gables decorated with paired brackets, and a two-level porch with delicate sawn balustrade. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
