Dr. J. A. Savage House, also known as Albion Academy, was a historic home located at 124 East College Street in Franklinton, Franklin County, North Carolina. It was built about 1880, and enlarged to its present size about 1895. It was a two-story, frame house with a cross-gable roof, sheathed with plain weatherboards, and rests on a brick and stone pier foundation. It had a one-story rear kitchen ell. It was originally built as a classroom and/or dormitory, and enlarged by Dr. John A. Savage for use as his private residence. The building housed Albion Academy (1880-1933), a school for African-American elementary and high school students founded by the Presbyterian Board of Missions for Freedmen.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] Due to the continued deterioration of the building, it was demolished in 1997.[3] The lot is currently vacant.
