This is 603 Ohio Street, Lawrence, Kansas. We turned onto this street many times to visit our eldest during her time attending the University of Kansas. She lived just 2 blocks down in this historical Kansas neighborhood. This brick home plays a part in the history of my post this week. Other than having a gorgeous front door and porch—not to mention the spacious yard—it was the home of a playhouse in 1878 that is currently housed at the Watkins Museum of History. I’ve just about exhausted that tour so this may be the last of the museum posts. Hope you enjoy this one.
In my humble opinion, the eldest sister had the best assignment of getting to choose furnishings at Marshall Fields in Chicago. I wonder if the sky was the limit?! The current furnishings may or may not be original so the question remains unanswered I’m sorry to say.
Please feel free to click one of the photos to see a slide show with full views of each picture.
Thanks for joining me these last 4 Thursday Doors posts for the highlights of the Watkins Museum of History. Please feel free to stop in to visit Dan at No Facilities for more door entries. As another blogger once said, no visa bill and no jetlag!

This has been a wonderful series. My favorite photo today is the delightful tall door with the large transom window. I would love to be in a room like that.

Those windows were so massive! They needed the doors to be cohesive I’m sure. 🙂 Thanks for dropping in

Happy to hear this. You will Love the Katy! Be sure to stop at the Katy Depot if you’re in Sedalia. Great information there and the Park Ranger for that section of the trail has an office there. Just a really good place to see too! Thanks for reaching out😊
