It was designed by George A. Berlinghof and George A. Shaul in a Beaux Arts style. The building was donated by Andrew Carnegie, and was given to the local government to be used as a library for the city of Lawrence, and was used for this purpose until 1972, when it was adapted for the use of the Lawrence Arts Center. In 1937 an addition to the building was constructed in the back of the structure. The Old Lawrence Library (as it is also called), was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
