Lawrence was a historic home located in what is now Seaford, Sussex County, Delaware. It was built about 1840 in what was then a rural area, as a three-story, three-bay, frame structure with a gable roof. It has a rear service wing. It featured a front portico supported by four square columns. Original details, including hardware, flooring, trim, and landscaping, survived throughout the house and grounds.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] It is listed on the Delaware Cultural and Historic Resources GIS system as destroyed.[3]
