Welcome to the prestigious George Lawrence Home, a masterpiece of historical elegance and
modern luxury, nestled in the heart of Galesburg, IL. Built in 1898 and recognized as a

This architectural gem has undergone a comprehensive renovation by skilled craftsmen from

residence boasts over 10-foot ceilings on all three floors, a modern elevator, and meticulously

windows—most of which have been replaced with historically accurate Marvin windows—the
home is bathed in natural light, highlighting the exquisite craftsmanship throughout. The
gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring high-end alder and mahogany cabinetry, luxurious
soapstone and Danby marble countertops, and an Officine Gullo cooking suite, all
complemented by a spacious butler’s pantry.

opulent master suite with his-and-hers bathrooms, marble floors, custom cabinetry, and a
relaxing slipper tub. The third floor is a versatile space, perfect for a play area or additional living
quarters. Every corner of this home is adorned with luxury finishes, including hand-carved wet
bars, plaster ceiling motifs, and designer lighting fixtures by Schoenbeck and Visual Comfort.
In addition to the main house, the estate includes the original stone carriage house, fully
updated in 2020 with new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. The carriage house’s second floor
features a beautifully appointed living space with a full bath, bedroom, and art studio, offering
endless possibilities. The two newer garages, meticulously designed to replicate the historic
aesthetic of the home, provide ample heated space for vehicles, workshops, and storage,
including room for car lifts, catering to auto enthusiasts.

Lawrence Home is not just a place to live—it’s an extraordinary lifestyle experience, a rare
