Charles Sweeton House, also known as Mount Pleasant School, is a historic home located in Center Township, Vanderburgh County, Indiana. The original two-room brick Mount Pleasant schoolhouse was built in 1888, and remodeled and expanded in 1926 into a two-story, Bungalow style private residence. The exterior is sheathed in stucco and the front facade features a full-width one-story porch with Doric order columns and a central eyebrow arch.[2]: 6 

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
