About this property

Sharon Indian School, also known as Indian View, is a historic school building located at King William, King William County, Virginia. The original 1919 Sharon School was a one-room, vernacular frame structure raised on brick piers. It was built for members of the Upper Mattaponi tribe, led by Mollie Holmes Adams and her husband, Jasper. The extant 1952 Sharon School was designed by architect C.W. Huff, Jr., in association with architect Edward F. Sinnott (Richmond, VA). The school had two classrooms and offered children a primary and limited secondary education. The original school is thought to have been razed around 1964. The Sharon Indian School closed in 1965. It is a one-story, brick building with Hopper-style windows and assumes a vaguely International Style-inspired appearance. It was listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register in 2006 and on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
