The Old University Library in Lincoln, Nebraska is a historic three-and-a-half story building on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. It was built with red bricks in 1891, and designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style by Mendelssohn, Fisher & Lawrie.[2] When it was dedicated in 1895, it housed the university library, an art gallery, and the Nebraska State Historical Society.[2] By the 1970s, it housed the Department of Architecture.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 6, 1975.[1]
