George Collamore, first mayor of Lawrence, lived at this site during and before Quantrill's Raid on Aug. 21, 1863, according to Katie Armitage's History of Lawrence. It is an iconic contributing structure and truly in the bull's eye "heart" of the National Register of Historic Places, "Old West Lawrence" neighborhood. (OWL)* Certified improvements to the home qualify for 40% tax credits and may be used personally, or sold to a 3rd party (check with your tax advisor). The home's northwest den and main level converted porch on the east have both been used as bedrooms (the house could be listed as a 5 bedroom home, but it sparely used that way. On the 2nd level are three (3) bedrooms, a renovated full bath and a newer, dedicated 3/4 bathroom for the primary southwest bedroom. The main level 3/4 bath served the converted east porch bedroom (Multipurpose Room); the space is flexible and is currently used for other purposes. The laundry is nearby on the east main level. There is a full, unfinished basement with shelving, mechanical systems, a workbench, and refrigerator. The corner lot has beautiful flowers and plants selected by the current stewards. The location has nuanced strengths as it is insulated from traffic flow on 6th and 9th Street and is surrounded by renovated structures that are in the upper limits of residential home values in town. 7th street has subtle traffic baffles with roundabouts, stop signs, dips, and historic brick streets which rumble beneath the seats and divert regular traffic to other routes. The stop signs on numbered and State named streets tend to slow cars from zooming through the neighborhood. Pedestrians tour over wide sidewalks past the horse hitching posts and architecturally diverse home designs dating back to the 1850's. Walkers are routine and some visitors from far away follow their own pedestrian tour. It is a destination location that attracts architecture and history buffs, and is rife with fascinating accounts. Proximity to KU, LMH, I-70, City and Douglas County offices, parks, swimming pool, library, post office, and retail, office, dining and entertainment options downtown make OWL a lifestyle and convenient choice for generational living.
