Quantrill burned it down, but the hotel and restaurant was rebuilt and reopened in 1925, which gave Lawrence, Kansas, its symbol, the Phoenix. The hotel is early 20th century elegant, well-maintained and classy. We had the annual Thanksgiving buffet today--shrimp and salmon, as well as turkey, prime rib, and all the trimmings, as well as the traditional desserts.
