Lawrence House (Baltimore)

Lawrence House (1900)

Lawrence House was an American social settlement in Baltimore, Maryland.[1] Its beginnings were in 1893, when Rev. Dr. Edward A. Lawrence and a friend took up lodging at 214 Parkin Street.[2] Lawrence died suddenly later in 1893, and in his memory, the Lawrence Memorial Association organized in 1894 and purchased a house at 816 West Lombard Street. The settlement incorporated in the Fall of 1900.[3] In 1904, the place was enlarged by the addition of the adjoining house, 814 West Lombard Street.
