The Cornell Library, dedicated in 1888, was the first library building constructed at Drew Theological Seminary. It is perhaps best remembered for the surviving "Rose" Window, now in the Learning Resource Center.

The Cornell Library was torn down 1938 when the larger Rose Memorial Library was constructed on the site. Rose Memorial Library later became part of the Learning Resource Center.
