Lawrence on Cherry Street in North Adams, Massachusetts is located a short walk from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and Mass MoCA. The shingle-style home boasts 5,500 square feet with three floors of exquisitely restored architecture that reflects the times and wealth of the industrial age. President William McKinley, a friend of the Congressman, delivered a speech from the 2nd floor porch balcony.
