South Franklin Street Historic District is a national historic district located at Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia. The district encompasses 26 contributing buildings in the town of Christiansburg. It includes principally single family brick and frame dwellings dated to the late-19th and early-20th centuries. They are reflective of a variety of popular architectural styles, in including Colonial Revival, Bungalow / American Craftsman, and Greek Revival. A notable dwelling is the 1919 Rice House, known as "The Huts."
