Lackawanna is a historic home at 236 Riverside Road in Front Royal, Warren County, Virginia. The 2+1⁄2-story brick house was built in 1869 for Dorastus Cone, a merchant who moved to the area from the Lackawanna River valley in Pennsylvania. The house has well-preserved Italianate features, including bracketed eaves and segmented-arch windows. Distinctive features that survive include top-floor windows whose sashes rise into the attic space, and a period bathroom. [2]
