Property Description
The Sarah Daniell Lawrence House, circa 1790, was built on this lot for the benefit of Robert Daniell’s wife and daughters as specified in his will in 1787. The building was apparently completed before his death. Sarah Daniell Lawrence received this house and land by purchase from the estate of her father in 1791. The home directly faces George Street and its period can be deduced from the wide, beaded weatherboard siding and the unusual Palladian windows on each gable of the attic story. Ascending the front steps, you will be greeted by the impressive central hall, flanked on the left by the sun-lit formal dining room and on the right by an elegant living room with gas fireplace. Set off the dining room is an updated eat-in kitchen with gas range, double stacked ovens, prep sink and
