About Greenlaw
Where to stay in Greenlaw
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
A room in Greenlaw puts the Burkle Estate and the Porter-Leath House within walking distance, in the Memphis district that the record also files under the name Uptown. Memphis holds the rooms. Beds elsewhere in the city leave Greenlaw as a short trip rather than an address, and the two historic houses as a stop on the way through.
About Greenlaw
