- Description
-
The original mansion house of Thomas Lawrence (1744-1823) was constructed in 1794. This is a confirmed site of enslavement as Sussex County records indicate that enslaved people lived in Lawrence's household in the early 19th century. It was located along present-day State Route 94 (Ames Blvd), about two-thirds of a mile west of Main Street.
Thomas's son, also named Thomas, used the foundation of the original mansion to build a new dwelling in 1841. That 1841 house has been preserved and is now on the National Register of Historic Places, known as Lawrence Mansion (NRIS ID 79001522). - Locality
