Hawks Schoolhouse


The Hawks Schoolhouse is a historic school building in rural western Perry [County, Arkansas]. It is located on the south side of County Road 7, in the easternmost section of Ouachita National Forest, near the hamlet of Ava. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and weatherboard siding. The roof is capped by a small gable-roofed open belfry. The front facade has a pair of symmetrically placed entrances with simple molding. It was built in 1911, and is a well-preserved example of a district schoolhouse in a rural context.
It was a "country school", a one-room schoolhouse.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
