The Lawrie House is a historic house at 600 North 7th Street in West Memphis, Arkansas. It is a ​2 1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof and numerous projecting gables. The first floor is faced in brick veneer, giving the appearance of a raised basement. The main facade is dominated by its porch, which has a projecting gable roof supported by four square columns. Its main entry is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a four-light lunette window and gable. The interior features elegant Colonial Revival woodwork. The house was built in 1939 by J. O. E.
