About This Vendor

The Carnegie building was constructed in 1904 with a grant worth approximately $27,000 from Andrew Carnegie. During the 1930’s an addition was build to accommodate the growing volume of books and materials. It served as the Lawrence public library until a new library was constructed in 1972. The Lawrence Arts Center inhabited the building from 1975 through 2002. It was also in 1975 that the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Old City Library. In January of 2011 the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department began operating the facility, once again making it available for public use.

Even though the building was under construction on the outside it was still beautiful on the inside. Mike was very helpful, he brought out a wheeled cart and helped us bring things inside so we could decorate for the reception which saved us a bunch of time. It was easy working with the coordinators to make sure it was set up the way we wanted and they were very helpful in answering all my questions.
