511 Lawrence Street

Little is known of this Queen Anne style house which stands on the southeast corner of 5th and Lawrence. It was built circa 1895 and survives (a long with its neighbor to the south, shown on the right in this photo) to this day virtually intact. When this photo was taken, circa 1950 there was a ramp leading up to the front porch which has since been removed. This house would have completed the 5th and Lawrence intersection with the Geary house, Johnson house and the Mystery house mentioned in last Fridays post.
