Lanning Hardware
616 High
Baldwin City, Ks 66006

This structure is one of a group of masonry buildings constructed in 1900 and illustrated in the 1908 Baldwin Souvenir. Small frame buildings occupied the lots at the northeast corner of Seventh and High Streets as late as May 1899. Then G.B. Lanning acquired a tract approximately 94X140 feet on the corner. He sold two parcels on the west (B21) retaining this property. The building housed a hardware store c. 1905-1912 and a carpenter shop in 1927.

Commercial building in row, rectangle, one story, three front bays, recessed side entrance, stuccoed stone sidewall and brick front, gable roof and parapet. Storefront altered with modern metal screen.
