Old West Lawrence

Old West Lawrence is the city's signature historic neighborhood, Victorian and early-1900s homes on brick-lined streets just west of downtown, many of them lovingly restored over generations.

Roughly bounded by 6th and 9th Streets west of downtown, Old West Lawrence holds the deepest concentration of historic architecture in the city: Queen Anne turrets, Italianate brackets, and craftsman porches under a canopy of mature trees. Much of the neighborhood carries historic-district recognition, which protects its character and rewards owners who restore rather than replace.

Living here puts Massachusetts Street's restaurants, shops, and Liberty Hall minutes away, with KU just up the hill. Homes range from grand landmark properties to smaller Victorians awaiting the right owner's vision. These houses trade on history and detail, exactly the kind of purchase where Bryan's knowledge of what restoration really costs pays for itself.
