City of Kingsville Website
Just to the west of the downtown historical district lies a building that has witnessed the majority of our community’s greatest milestones. Nearly as old as the city itself, the giant edifice was a symbol of progress, representing Kingsville’s steady march into the future as well as Mrs. Henrietta M. King’s ideals of childhood education, public service and philanthropy. The same hallways that were once alive with the sounds of children’s laughter and molded some of our town’s greatest leaders have sat empty and silent for over three decades, until now. The old H.M. King Public School on the corner of South 3rd Street and King Avenue is currently undergoing a large-scale renovation to house a number of city departments as well serve as the new city hall upon its completion in late 2015.
