Guest Housing

The Alumni House located at 224 North Park Street was built in 1890 by Maude H. Marshall family, the house was purchased by Lawrence University in 1974. For over 20 years it served as the residence for the Dean of Students until 1997, when plans were begun to renovate the Marshall house into a guest house for visitors and a community space for meetings, as well as other functions for campus groups.

Please note: Both guest houses on North Park Avenue are unavailable and offline for the 2021-2022 academic year.
