In the 1940s, the former Blaisdell Farm farmhouse at 59 Doe Avenue was sold to Annette Sorensen and renamed Lawrence Manor. The origin of the Lawrence name is not known.

Davis only owned and operated the property for one season. In 1956, he sold the property to George and Mary Spanos, owners of the adjacent Shangri-La resort, who used much of the Manor’s 40 acres of land to expand and extend their resort. Under the ownership of the Brickyard Mountain corporation, the new owners of the resort, the farmhouse building became the Manor, a French restaurant, but it only operated for a couple of years, from 1974-1975. The property then languished. By the 1990s, the building was in severe disrepair, and only 3 acres of the original land was left when it was put up for sale. New owners from 1998-2018 made several improvements, but when Keith O’Leary bought the property in 2018, the renovations and repairs were much more extensive. In 2020, O”Leary opened his Craft Beer Xchange, home of the Witches Brew Pub. Once again, however, the restaurant failed to make it. The remote location, unseen from busy Route 3, and not on the main, Lakeside Avenue drag, proved too difficult. The restaurant closed at the end of the 2025 season. On October 6, 2026, the property was approved for a 40-unit condominium development. This will result in a tear-down of the historic, 150-year old building.
