The Carver Library is single story stone built building. A centered entranceway has an overhang built of wood that appears to be tudor styled.
The library was built in 1909 with stones taken from the Carver farm at the Moose Point shore, and dedicated on October 13, 1910. The Bangor Daily News of the following day described the contents of the strong box which was sealed into the corner stone of the building to "remain for the next 100 years to be opened on the 100th anniversary of the dedication."
