Not wanting to "steal" the info from LakeCumberland.com I just wanted to mainly save and post a copy of the PDF I posted at LC.com in post number 403230.
While doing that I also want to capture a little of the info for here as well but will only use what I posted there.
For MUCH more info go to http://lakecumberland.com/forum/viewthr ... ?tid=34017 , it also has another Lc.com thread linked in it with even more info.
The google embedding in the post below may or may not work but you should be able to get a link out of it if not.
Here is the other post I made
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.

Page 64 aka 72 of 124. Has a photo of the home and the following text:• 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.
