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. Stephens House, located at 340 N Michigan Street, Lawrence, KS. This event provides a unique opportunity to explore and appreciate the beauty and history of this remarkable home, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 19th, 1982.
For the ninth edition of LPA’s most prestigious award, LPA has chosen a slate of winners that include a property owner with a strong record of redeveloping unique infill historic properties, the owners of a full-service architectural design firm that loves to help breathe new life into historic ‘diamonds-in-the-rough’, and a highly-skilled artisan who focuses his knowledge and experience to the saving of all things stone.
