Moores Hill School - Carnegie Hall

Moores Hill School - Carnegie Hall This page is for anyone who attended or is interested in Moores Hill College/High School/Elementary It was renamed Moores Hill College in 1887.

Moores Hill Male and Female Collegiate Institute was founded in 1854 by John Moore in the small town of Moores Hill in southeastern Indiana. The first college building at Moores Hill, Moore Hall, was completed on December 1, 1856, although the opening day of classes for the new college were held in the unfinished building on September 9th. A cornerstone was laid for a second building over 50 years

after the school was founded - on June 12, 1907. The new building was dedicated on June 18, 1908, and named "Carnegie Hall" after the chief donor, Andrew Carnegie. The institution struggled financially during its time in Moores Hill, and a fire destroyed Moore Hall in 1915. The institution continued to operate in the second building, Carnegie Hall, until the college officially closed in 1917. In 1919 the "college" moved to Evansville, IN where the name was changed to Evansville College and later the University of Evansville. However, Carnegie Hall in Moores Hill continued operation as an elementary and high school. Carnegie Hall is now maintained as a museum.
