The Lawrence Memorial Library in Springfield, Illinois, was designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright for client Susan Lawrence Dana in 1905. Wright had previously designed Dana's Springfield residence, now known as the Dana–Thomas House, in 1902.
Dana commissioned the library for the West Room of the Rheuna D. Lawrence School.[1] The school was named after her father, who had been the president of the School Board of Springfield until his death in 1901. According to William Allin Storrer, the memorial library had been mostly demolished but was restored in 1993.[2]
