La Parrola - Lawrence, Kansas - Victorian Style Architecture on Waymarking.com

(c. 1864)

This is a Queen Anne example of a commercial block building. The red brick second story has four regularly spaced 9/9 windows with quarry-faced stone sills and lintels. Above each window is a decorative panel of recessed tapestry brick. A large, projecting metal cornice has end brackets, paneled architrave, and a diamond patterned bed moding. A recessed secondary entry on the south leads to the second story, while the storefront area has a recessed centered entry flanked by display windows with false stone veneer bulkheads. There is a cloth roller awning, and the transom area is covered with an enclosed awning.
