Life and career
Life and career
After studying at the Massachusetts Normal Art School in Boston, Lawrence moved to Berlin in 1892. He began his professional career soon after, when he formed a partnership with L. U. Cole. This lasted until 1894, when he opened his own office. After 10 years, he formed a partnership with his draftsman, Howland C. Bates, Lawrence & Bates. Bates opened his own office soon after, and would design Berlin's City Hall. Lawrence remained in Berlin until 1907, when he moved west to Vermont, settling in Burlington. There he took the place of Walter R. B. Willcox, who had moved to Seattle. In 1919 he moved to Isle La Motte, where he focused on industrial design. Eventually, he returned to Burlington, keeping an office there until 1932.
