点评:Benjamin Franklin House at 36 Craven Street in the heart of London is a heritage ‘gem.’ The world’s only remaining home of Benjamin Franklin (and that is not in the USA), opened to the public on Franklin’s 300th birthday, as a dynamic museum and educational facility.
For nearly sixteen years between 1757 and 1775, Dr Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the United States and more – lived at 36 Craven Street.
First, many people may not realize that one of the Founding Fathers lived in London for a more than decade-and-a-half. He also lived in a house where hundreds of human bones were found underneath the building. Yes, human bones, and you can see them for yourself.
History : Benjamin Franklin arrived in London 1757 to “negotiate colonial interests,” according to home’s brochure. He rented rooms from Mrs. Margaret Stevenson (a widow) at 36 Craven Street, which you will find near Trafalgar Square, the massive London landmark that, of course, did not exist when Franklin was there (Battle of Trafalgar was 1805, 15 years after Franklin’s death).
翻译:位于伦敦市中心克雷文街36号的本杰明·富兰克林故居是一座文化遗产瑰宝。它是世界上仅存的本杰明·富兰克林故居(而且不在美国),于富兰克林诞辰300周年之际作为一座充满活力的博物馆和教育机构向公众开放。
从1757年到1775年,近十六年间,美国开国元勋本杰明·富兰克林博士曾在克雷文街36号居住。
首先,许多人可能没有意识到,美国开国元勋之一本杰明·富兰克林曾在伦敦居住了十五年多。他还曾居住过一栋房屋,楼下发现了数百具人类骸骨。没错,就是人类骸骨,您可以亲眼看到。
历史:根据故居的宣传册,本杰明·富兰克林于1757年抵达伦敦“洽谈殖民利益”。他从寡妇玛格丽特史蒂文森夫人手中租下了位于克雷文街 36 号的房间,该房间靠近特拉法加广场,特拉法加广场是伦敦的标志性建筑,当然,富兰克林在的时候它还不存在(特拉法加海战发生在 1805 年,即富兰克林去世 15 年后)。
