Carnegie Hall of Moores Hill College, Academic building in Moores Hill, Indiana.
Carnegie Hall is a school building in Moores Hill featuring a T-shaped layout with a central bell tower and limestone basement. The structure showcases terra cotta decorative elements and skilled masonry from the early 1900s.
The building was constructed in 1907 following an Andrew Carnegie donation and served as the main facility of Moores Hill College until 1917. It later continued operating as a public school for the community.
The building reflects early 20th-century school design with its blend of Gothic and Jacobethan Revival styles visible throughout. Visitors can observe how these two architectural traditions came together in the brick, stone, and decorative work.
The building is located in Dearborn County and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Contact ahead to arrange a visit, as access may be limited due to its status as an active school facility.
Designated rooms inside the building hosted Masonic lodge meetings for many decades, showing how school facilities in small towns served multiple community purposes. This dual use reflects the importance of such buildings in local life.
