Carver Hall, built in a Georgian Revival style with Italianate Revival elements, was dedicated in 1867. The center cupola was replaced by a projecting domed bell

Originally called Institute Hall for the Bloomsburg Literary Institute, it was the first building erected on the present campus and renamed in 1927 in honor of Henry Carver, the Principal from 1866 to 1871.
