The Lawrence Opera House is a historic two-story building in Lawrence, Nebraska. It was built in 1901.[2] For D. Layne Ehlers, "[t]his opera house is significant in the area of social history, because it gave Lawrence a neutral, nonaffiliated location for lodge meetings, suppers, and school entertainments."[2] The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 28, 1988.[1]
