Walruff/Byrd Stable

We are excited to be launching a new project to save a historic Lawrence building! And we need your help to do it! A 2025 sale of the old mobile home park property north of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, on the western edge of the Pinkney neighborhood, has given LPA the opportunity to negotiate a creative plan to rescue an urban stable steeped in Lawrence history.
