The Franklin School is a building designed by Adolf Cluss in the German round-arch style, located on Franklin Square at 13th and K Streets in Washington, D.C. It was constructed in 1869 and initially served as a flagship school building. It later took on various other educational roles, and became a homeless shelter in the 2000s. In 2020, it became the location of the Planet Word museum after its interior was largely gutted.
