The Lawrence House (Pennsylvania) is a historic house located in Menallen Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania. It is primarily of log construction, with the original building dating to circa 1760. It is not currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Construction
The Lawrence House is a two-story log / wood frame Farmhouse style dwelling. It is covered in wooden clapboard siding and sits on a rubble stone foundation. The original wood walls as well as wood ceilings remain. The house originally was heated with Franklin stoves, as well as the traditional Wood-burning stoves. Many of the original wide plank floors with rose-headed nails still remain, but are covered with 20th century Tongue and groove flooring. The log walls have been partially covered with horse-hair plaster, but some have been exposed and restored.

History
John Lawrence was the original owner of the property. He was an Overseer of the poor for Menallen Township, and one of the first, being appointed March 26, 1750. He is also listed as one of the attorneys present at the opening of the first court held in York County, Pennsylvania in 1749. After John Lawrence's death somewhere between 1772 and 1777, his son moved to officially acquire the property. Joseph Lawrence, the father of Joseph Lawrence (Pennsylvania politician) and grandfather of George Van Eman Lawrence, had the land surveyed for purchase in 1786 and dubbed the property "Oxford".

Later owners include Thomas Baldwin, Henry Peters, David Wills (Gettysburg) and Hiram S. Wright.

Restoration and Renovation
The Lawrence House is presently being renovated by its current occupants. In 2006, the original hand dug Water well in the front yard dried up, necessitating the drilling of a new well. The house has had a geothermal HVAC system installed to conserve energy, in addition to modern windows and doors. During renovation, artifacts such as pottery, glass, bones, and a 1775 British King George half Penny were found under the floor boards.

Initially, there was a barn across the street to the Lawrence House that was part of the original property. However, in September of 2012, it was dismantled and removed.
