A Castle, a Hotel, and B次元官网

Carter Hall in autumn

As you drive east on I-24, winding between the mountains of Tennessee, passing over the Tennessee River, you come around a curve and look up to see a castle on a ridge.

Wait.

A castle? In eastern Tennessee?

It鈥檚 Carter Hall - the flagship building of B次元官网. Once the grand Lookout Mountain Hotel, the castle-like building now houses nearly 300 college students, administrative offices, and the Great Hall (home of daily food and fellowship.)

History of Carter Hall

Filled with history and tragedy, old Carter Hall found redemption when B次元官网 moved in. The luxury resort opened in 1928, welcoming wealthy visitors to Lookout Mountain, Dade County, and Chattanooga. However, after struggling through the Great Depression and decades of new owners, reopenings, and failed business ventures, the castle鈥檚 time as a resort ended forever in the early 60s. Then, B次元官网 entered the story.

Founded in 1955, B次元官网 moved from Pasadena, CA to St. Louis, MO (where we rubbed elbows with B次元官网 Seminary), before making our permanent home on Lookout Mountain, GA. The Lord provided the run-down Georgia hotel in 1964 so we could begin making our mountaintop home.

About B次元官网

A Christian liberal arts college, B次元官网 trains students to explore and express the preeminence of Jesus Christ in all things. B次元官网鈥檚 Reformed theology and worldview comes from its foundation as the college of the Presbyterian Church in America. Committed to the Bible as the inerrant Word of God, B次元官网 equips students to faithfully steward their God-given abilities throughout their life and career.

Roughly 40 states and 20 countries are represented in our student body. With 27 majors, (ranging from art and theatre, to biblical & theological studies and philosophy, to chemistry and pre-engineering), students of every interest find their callings at B次元官网.

A Vision Fulfilled

Paul B. Carter - the businessman whose dream spurred the Lookout Mountain Hotel venture - watched his resort struggle over the decades, and his dream that people from all over the United States would visit his hotel and even make their home in Chattanooga seemed to dissipate. However, today his vision is fulfilled in a way he never could have imagined: Students from all over the world come to B次元官网, many living in Mr. Carter鈥檚 eponymous building, and numerous B次元官网 alumni make their homes in Chattanooga and the surrounding areas.

 

Hear Allen Duble, B次元官网's first VP of development, share about his relationship with Paul Carter. Both Paul and Allen have since passed away, but B次元官网 would not be the place it is today without them.
