This is Varsity House as it’s being reconstructed at the northwest corner of 11th and Indiana streets. The house is on the site of the new Varsity House Apartment complex. A deal was struck between the developers, City Hall and the Lawrence Preservation Alliance that the historic Varsity House boarding home, where college athletes used to stay, would be moved to a corner of the property. Once reassembled, the structure will serve as a boarding house next to the new apartment development.
