The Old Public Library is a historic library building in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The Richardsonian Romanesque structure was built in 1892 to a design by George G. Adams, a leading architect of public buildings in New England. The building is predominantly brownstone, with terracotta trim bands, an irregular and asymmetric massing with a tower, and its entrance recessed in an archway. It served as Lawrence's public library until 1973 when a new library building was built.{{cite web|url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=law.81|title=MACRIS inventory record for Lawrence Old Public Library|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|access-date=2014-01-04}}
