Abondoned Concrete Block Building on 127
I've always wondered so I thought I would ask. If you are heading west on 127 about 2 miles from the State Park Entrance, there is an abondoned
concrete block building. Looks like some type of factory or something. Anyone know what that was?

Guessing you mean North or South? I'm pretty sure I can envision the building you are talking about I just can't remember the exact spot.

Its used now as storage for a fencing company in town.
It was at some point in time planned on being a hospital. And maybe it was for a period of time.
The name of the building is Amaranth. The southern style house across the street is where the doctor lived from what I've been told. On the brick
entrance to the walkway there is a name and dates or something if I remember correctly. If I have time maybe I'll snap a photo and post it.

Yep, that's the building I'm talking about. Don't know my direction, north, south, east, whatever. Where's my dang compass. A hospital? That would
have been useful.

Pretty cool, I keep wondering what kind of individual named a place "Amaranth". (I bet I would have liked em)
Did a search, check out the post by RLG from Sept 16,2009
http://www.topix.com/forum/city/jamestown-ky/TJ6KTABPF53K984...
It appears there is a fax line to the building lol
http://www.spsfence.com/BranchKY.html
Amaranth Bldg Fax: (Danny G) (270) 343-4007
lol, by the looks of that satellite photo I am guessing it MUST be to the back buildings as the neat front one's entire roof be gone from what I can
tell.

Page 64 aka 72 of 124. Has a photo of the home and the following text:
| Quote: | • Dr. M. M. Lawrence House (Site 6)—Eligible under
Criterion B: Association with a significant person.
The Lawrence House is a two-story, five-bay, brick Colonial Revival house designed by M. M. Lawrence circa 1907 and built during the period from 1953
to 1957. The dwelling has a massive two-story porch supported by fluted Ionic columns and covers the three central bays of the dwelling. Windows have
eight-over-twelve glazing on the first floor and eight-over-eight glazing on the second. Lawrence called his home “The Amaranth” after a mythical
flower said never to fade. Dr. Marshall Marvin Lawrence, Sr., practiced medicine in the communities of Rowena and Jamestown, including areas in the
surrounding Wayne, Clinton, and Cumberland counties. In addition to his practice, Dr. Lawrence also designed and built the 50-room Lawrence Hotel on
the Jamestown Square, which opened in 1935. At the time the hotel was built, Jamestown did not have a public water system, according to Dr. Lawrence’s
son. Dr. Lawrence installed a pump station and ran a clay pipe to deliver water to the hotel, which also included a café, beauty shop, and drugstore.
The hotel served for a time as a home for high school students who left their homes in remote parts of Russell County to attend Jamestown High School.
The hotel also housed the switchboard and circuits for the Lawwell Phone Company (later Russell Home Telephone), founded by Dr. Lawrence and a
partner, Mr. Wells. Dr. Lawrence was also a charter member of the Jamestown Lion’s Club, organized in 1942. |
Check that PDF out it has a lot of cool stuff from the area especially on page 4, 29, 52, 62, 64, 81, and 100.
