Bed and breakfasts home away from home
An increased demand for lodging has made Lawrence's two bed and breakfast establishments popular.
Nine rooms rent for $59 to $95 per night, depending on the day.
The three-story house, built in 1880, was the third mansion built in Lawrence. The original owners lived there until the Depression, Latessa said. But then the house was converted to apartments. In 1994 it opened as a bed and breakfast.
Both Christopher's House and Halcyon House offer visitors a home away from home.
"If you are creative and you love what you are doing, then you can be successful at it," Wolfe said.
Guests stay at Halcyon House for $45 to $85 per night.
The houses benefit from their proximity
Christopher's House, 643 Tennessee St. opened in 1994 and is considered a historical landmark, innkeeper Scott Latessa said.
Ester Wolfe opened Halcyon House, 1000 Ohio St., 12 years ago after taking her own advice.
Wolfe was teaching a career and life-planning course and telling students to follow their dreams. Then she realized she needed to follow her dream.
Wolfe chose a college town to make her dream come true.
"It's not a place where you go to be loud... It's more like a home."

to the University of Kansas, especially during special events. Rooms at Christopher's House are booked already for next year's graduation.
"We have a diverse clientele staying here, everyone from visiting professors to parents."Latessa said.
Wolfe said the house was perfect for occasions such as a romantic getaway.
"It is not a party house," Wolfe said.
Christopher's House accommodates a lot of students, especially during Greek formals. Latessa said.
Rachel McBride, Boulder, Colo., junior, said she stayed at a bed and breakfast with her mother when her mother visited.
"It's not a place where you go to be loud and obnoxious with your friends. It's more like a home," McBride said.
