Completed in 1723, the Brafferton building, a Georgian structure that originally housed Indigenous grammar school students and their teacher or "master," remains a key structure on William & Mary's historic campus. Beyond its architectural grandeur the building is a testament to an eighteenth-century history of Indigenous and British colonial interactions on a contested colonial landscape. The building's prominence speaks to the importance of developing and maintaining ties to the vibrant Native communities which were so vital to European colonial powers.
