This place is easy to get interested in. We have a painting I did hanging here of this place back in the 1980's that one of the kid's framed & gave me. At that time it was still on Delaware St. It is an interesting story of how it was moved to Hobb's park. Also have a number of sketches black & white as well as color of it since being moved. Every angle of this place is interesting. This drawing is done on 11 x 14 paper with the .9 mm B lead.
A few years ago we met one of the few surviving decendants of the Lawrence newspaper editor during Quantrill's raid. He was using the old house as a studio for his ink portraits while tending the building during the hours it was open.
Below is a detail of the porch corner.
