(Not to be confused with the unregistered "Old West Lawrence" that extends west of Mississippi Street to Michigan Street). This settler's home was started in 1868, just seven years after Kansas Statehood and only five years after Quantrill's terroristic attack and murders in 1863. William Harris added the elegant Italianate addition in 1871 with the basic footprint of today's structure. Rising defiantly from the ashes, 603 Ohio Street is a historic showcase, a display of free determination, and has been continuously occupied by pioneers, visionaries, and leaders who impacted the Lawrence community. Settle into your home and surround your lifestyle with authenticity, master craftsmanship, heritage, and lovingly preserved artistic details. There are three fireplaces, lots of stained and leaded glass, original chandeliers,("gasoliers"), ornate crown moldings, trim, newel post, and so much more. A kitchen addition was designed to complement and emulate the original structure and incorporates beams from KU's primary Robinson Gymnasium (built in 1901). There is a newer 2 car garage with attached garden storage, an extraordinary perennial garden, estate lot irrigation system, landscaped reflecting pool with waterfall, and the classy, proudly featured 1880 brick privy - all situated on 3 full lots. Recent updates include a restored front porch, renovated Yankee gutters, skylights, and a hand-crafted metal roof on the main structure; an upgraded electrical service with new circuit breaker box and mast on the west side of the house; extensive restoration of front porch soffit and facia, requiring custom milling of historic trim, and some new paint. Existing for 157 years, the last 61+ years of being loved and cared for by the Godwin family; this is truly a once in a life time opportunity. You could be the next steward of a lifetime. > Showings may be arranged in advance.
