The Rhody Delahanty House, located at 1100-1106 Rhode Island Street in Lawrence, Kansas, is a shining example of successful preservation efforts. The house is part of the North Rhode Island Street Historic Residential District and has a rich history dating back to the late 1800s. Over the years, the property fell into severe disrepair, but a determined group of individuals, including Stan and Joni Hernly, took on the monumental task of saving it from demolition.
In collaboration with its owners, Brad and Carrie Mayhew, the Lawrence Preservation Alliance is excited to invite you to an Old Housewarming at the historic Judge Nelson T.
