Custom home by Harris Stone for his muse and dancer, Joan Stone
Custom home by Harris Stone for his muse and dancer, Joan Stone
I am honored to present this very unique home on one of my favorite, secluded streets in Lawrence. Meadowlark Lane is at one of the highest points in SW Lawrence. Harris Stone, KU architecture professor designed this home for his spouse, Joan Stone, Director of Dance at KU. Ms. Stone wanted a dance studio and a home, specifically in that order. They both lived in the lower level while Ms. Stone danced, danced and danced. The huge lot (almost one acre) backs up to University of Kansas property. West Campus / The Crossing is just over the hill to the east. The home is in need of TLC. It is priced accordingly and is sold
Renovated 1880s two story brick home in the North Rhode Island Historic District

I am honored to offer this important early two-story brick home in the North Rhode Island Historic District. I love this historic preservation WIN. The origin story dates to the 1880s and was the original home of Thomas Collier. In 1908 it was sold to the Turnverein, the German community group that operated the Turnhalle, the beautiful stone building next door. The Ernst family purchased both buildings in 1938. In 2018 the Lawrence Preservation Alliance purchased the building and sold it to the current owner who has completely and tastefully renovated the home. The exterior brick is handsome and strong; the southern windows provide glorious natural light. Currently, the home is used as an Airbnb. Take away a few beds and there is plenty of space for a family. The south side of the lot is open and available for recreation, gardening or? The location is superb. Can you imagine being at Terrebonne eating a Po’boy in a few minutes? Who’s next?
Early 1900s American Four Square in Old West Lawrence

I am pleased to share this recently renovated 1910 American Foursquare in Old West Lawrence. The last two stewards have taken this home to the next level, updating the systems while retaining the old world charm. The kitchen and downstairs bathroom have been renovated along with a newer HVAC system. The basement has a new concrete floor with a french drain to keep it dry and perfect for storage. The electrical and plumbing has also been updated along with a new 50 gallon water heater. The backyard also features a beautiful new cedar fence. Easy living is right here on Maine Street. Who's next?

I am pleased to share my first listing of 2026. The homeowner has been an excellent steward. The natural light in this home is spectacular. The custom ceramic tile on the first floor & brick fireplace create a cozy southwest vibe. All the bedrooms are upstairs. The backyard is fully fenced and the yard is loaded with mature trees and flowers. Who's next?
1905 Shingle Style home w/ Gambrel roof in OWL by W.A. Griffith in
1905 Shingle Style home w/ Gambrel roof in OWL by W.A. Griffith in
I am pleased to share this new listing in historic Old West Lawrence, on one of the most desirable blocks in OWL, the 700 block of Indiana Street. In 1905 William A. Griffith designed this Shingle Style home, with a gambrel roof and had one of the premier builders of that time, J.L. Constant build it. The home has stood the test of time with grace and strength. There has certainly been a series of excellent stewards over the last 120 years. Recently, the Rickett's created a modern 3-season room addition on the rear of the home that blends seamlessly with the original home. 728 Indiana offers the best of both worlds, old world charm and the conveniences of today. The use of natural materials, glacial stone and cedar create a warmth that is delightful, creating a space for shelter and pleasure. Take the visual tour for a spin and if you are inspired to see it in person, take the next move. As always, who's next?

”The University of Kansas last year placed Smith Hall on a list of 12 buildings deemed obsolete, ’demolition ready,’ and likely to be razed in fiscal year 2023. Those plans have changed, but the fight is not over,” Tom Harper writes in this column.
