Totaling $21 million, the renovations are scheduled to complete in 18 months, reports the <em>Philadelphia Business Journal<\/em>.<a href=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2011\/11\/Franklin_Court.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-23116\" src=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2011\/11\/Franklin_Court.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The property (where Benjamin Franklin\u2019s three-story brick home formerly stood) was turned into a museum in 1976 in advance of the nation\u2019s bicentennial. The site currently includes a Post Office and a \u201cghost house\u201d similar to the one that Franklin used to live in; both of these will remain open to the public during the construction. Under the new plans, the property\u2019s name will be changed to the Benjamin Franklin Museum, says the <em>Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The renovation is funded by a public-private partnership between the National Park Service, Pew Charitable Trusts, philanthropist Gerry Lenfest, the William Lenn Foundation, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Independence Visitor Center. The construction work itself is estimated to cost $9.54 million and will be handled by Narberth-based developer Daniel J. Keating Co. Another $4.7 million will be invested in exhibits that will be created by Maltbie, headquartered in Mount laurel, N.J., which has also created exhibits for Philadelphia\u2019s Chemical Heritage Museum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Photo by K.
