The Brick Schoolhouse is a historic one-room schoolhouse at 432 New Hampshire Route 123 in Sharon, New Hampshire. Built in 1832, it is the only of the town's three such buildings to survive, and was the only one made of brick. It is also the only school building in the town at all; its students have been schooled in neighboring Peterborough since 1920. It is a single-story structure 26 feet (7.9 m) wide and 30 feet (9.1 m) long, with an entry vestibule 5 feet (1.5 m) deep, and the schoolroom occupying the rest of the building. The original wooden desks still occupy their places. The building has continued to serve municipal purposes, seeing uses as a town meeting site, polling place, and town records repository.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
