The 1974 to 1980 housing in North Lawrence Park

Seven recordings, six years. The 1st section went on record 12 May 1974 with an amendment 1 December 1975, the 2nd was amended 10 August 1975, the 3rd amended 18 April 1976, the 4th recorded 4 August 1976, the 5th 27 July 1977, the 6th 13 March 1979 and the 7th 12 August 1980. That is the most sustained single decade build out in the Lawrence plat records, and it is the reason this community reads as one thing rather than as layers. The county layer names no builder and publishes no lot count for any of the seven sections, so we quote openings and not homes.

Architecturally you're looking at 1970s ranch, tri level and split level with some two story colonials. The split level is the one that changes a quote, because a single house carries two different sill heights: half height openings at the lower level and full height openings above. There's no two story great room glass in this vintage, though a colonial's tall narrow stair window can read like one from Pendleton Pike. Openings are shallow wood jambs with thin applied casing, which is the condition across the 35% of Lawrence housing that predates 1980, plus the slider tracks on top of it.

What a 1970s slider track does to an inside mount

Start with depth, because in North Lawrence Park it decides everything downstream. A 1970s aluminum horizontal slider carries its track inside the opening, and that track uses up mounting depth a wood opening of the same age would have given you. Put shallow jambs and thin applied casing on top of that and the usable inside mount depth can land under what a 2-inch headrail or a roller bracket needs. We measure depth at the first visit and quote afterward, never before. Where the depth isn't there, an outside mount sized past the opening is the honest answer, and the applied casing at least gives us a surface to land a bracket on.

Then squareness. These houses are 45 to 52 years old on Marion County clay, so a three point measure is the default here rather than an upsell. We take width and height at the top, the middle and the bottom, then order to the smallest reading. Factory deduction removes a further 1/16 inch per side, and Lutron publishes an inside mount light gap of 3/4 inch per side on the Roller 20/64. On a bedroom facing a Pendleton Pike streetlight, that gap is something you see at 5am in June. Dominant exposure isn't established for this plat, so openness factor gets decided room by room at the measure rather than read off a map.

What we specify for a North Lawrence Park slider

The specification here works outward from the track, which is not how we'd approach the 1998 to 2005 plats on the southeast side of the city. Shallow depth rules products out before fabric is even discussed, and the split level's two sill heights decide most of the rest. National price ranges apply: stock shades run $60 to $600 per window and custom $250 to $2,600, with aluminum blinds at the low end of that, and motorized at $300 to $1,500 per window installed. Custom fabrication takes 2 to 5 weeks. At 12 to 18 openings in a typical house here, a whole house order is a planning job.

North Lawrence Park, Pendleton Pike and the township schools

North Lawrence Park sits in north central Lawrence off Pendleton Pike, US 36, adjoining the Lawrence Park and Lawrence Manor plats. The county's platted subdivision layer records the seven section names and their dates without publishing a street list for this plat, so rather than guess from a subdivision name we confirm your address against the Marion County parcel record when the measure is booked. Schools run through the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township, the ninth largest district in Indiana, with eleven elementary magnet schools, Belzer or Craig at the middle level and Lawrence North or Lawrence Central for high school. The district covers the township, which is larger than the city, so a Lawrence Township address isn't automatically a City of Lawrence one.
