Do the Singing River Hospital sheets appear as competition or working drawings? The MDAH HRI database has a great photograph of the building when new.

For Lawrence's work the SEAA primarily has conceptual sketches, not working drawings. For Singing River, that is the case.
I also missed that Bill Calongne and Lawrence were in partnership at one time. The collection might contain documents associated with this house in Waveland, MS?

It's only a small collection of Lawrence drawings. For more work done in conjunction with Bill Calongne, see the Saunders Finding Aid:

My guess is that Calongne would have kept the drawings for his own house and not passed them on to Lawrence or Saunders, but you never know, something could have been misidentified when it came to us.
