Carnegie Hall offers regular live performances by artists from around the world, classes, workshops, arts in education programming, fine art exhibits, and more. Carnegie Hall, Inc.’s original structure was designed by architects Barrett & Thompson in 1902 in the Georgian Revival style. Named for the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg, West Virginia, is one of only four Carnegie Halls in the world that is still in use as a performance venue. The hall replaced one of two buildings at the Lewisburg Female Institute that burned down in 1901 and provided the Institute, later named the Greenbrier College for Women, with classrooms, studios, a laboratory, and an auditorium. After Greenbrier College closed in 1972, the college campus was used for a while as the Greenbrier Center, a school for individuals with special needs. In the early 1980s, local residents formed Carnegie Hall, Inc. to save the building from demolition and made it a performance venue, gallery space, and arts education programming.
