History Jamison Station derives its name from the Jamison Bedding Company, the last tenant of The Factory at Franklin, a circa of 1929 complex originally built for Allen Manufacturing Company and once the home of Dortch Stove Works and Magic Chef. Renovated by Franklin businessman Calvin Lehew in the late 1990’s, the site’s 11 buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and now it houses shops, galleries, restaurants, and entertainment. The architecture of Jamison Station aims to preserve The Factory’s industrial feel while reflecting the historic character of downtown Franklin.
