Though best known for institutional and commercial projects, Francis was also sought after as a domestic architect and designed houses throughout the state, including many for industrialists. Largest of Francis' domestic projects was the house (1880-81) in Clinton for John R. Foster, a dry goods retailer. Facing the town's Central Park, this is a large, three-story house which is one of the most elaborate axamples of Stick Style architecture in New England.[26] A Few years later he designed a Queen Anne house for manufacturer Frederick Fosdick (1884), who would later be mayor of Fitchburg.[27] Larger and more elaborate was the Fitchburg home of Edgar F. Belding (1888), a shoe manufacturer. Now demolished, this was considered the best example of Queen Anne architecture in the region.[28] A later house was that for Laroy S. Starrett, founder of the L. S. Starrett Company, in Athol (1900-01).[29] This is an example of Colonial Revival architecture.
In addition to his other work for the client, Francis was responsible for various alterations to the Fitchburg house of Rodney Wallace.[30] Another domestic project was a stable and carriage house (1880) for James Phillips Jr. in Fitchburg, built in concert with a house for Phillips. Though the house has been demolished, the stable and carriage house was donated in 1926 to the Fitchburg Art Association. After a renovation by architect Mary Almy of Howe, Manning & Almy, the building was rededicated as the Fitchburg Art Museum in 1929.[31]
