    Dentist J. Smith Dodge has a five-story marble-faced loft built at 80 Franklin Street

    J. Smith Dodge, a dentist, had the building put up in 1866-68 on a lot that had held a frame dwelling. The five-story store and loft is about 25 feet wide and 90 feet deep, with marble facing, three bays of arched windows on each floor and a bracketed metal cornice. It is one of three matching fronts at Nos. 76-80 credited to Samuel A. Warner. Over the years it was mostly home to dry-goods firms, which used it to sell, store and display their goods.

    “It was constructed in 1866-68 for J. Smith Dodge, a dentist.”
