Notes
  • Significance: Charles Major School is within the Shelbyville Commercial Historic District. The historic district is pending National Register approval. The structure is a 2-story brick building constructed in 1922. There has been a great deal of controversy surrounding the actual significance of the structure. The building on its own does not exhibit outstanding architectural style. In addition, it is not a particularly good example of the institutional architecture constructed during that period. The building was named after Charles Major, a local writer of childrens' books. A statue depicting a young boy from one of Major's books, "The Bears of Blue River," was placed outside of the main entrance of the school. It has since been moved to the Town Square.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: FN-59
