On Franklin - Sylva Rd., N.C. Ascent to Jackson Gap

Roads

This photograph by R.A. Romanes (1896-1978) has a handwritten caption that reads '10 -18 - 1936 on Franklin - Sylva Rd N.C. Ascent to Jackson Gap.'� The numbers in the caption are the date, October 18, 1936. The rest of the caption refers to the road between Franklin, N.C., and Sylva, N.C. 'Ascent to Jackson Gap'� is a possible reference to Watauga Gap on the Jackson County, N.C., and Macon County, N.C., line through which the main Sylva - Franklin highway passed at that time. The wording on the side of the building along the roadside recommends that travelers 'Eat Franklin Restaurant.'�
