Indian Banks is a historic home and archaeological site located near Simonson, Richmond County, Virginia. It was built in 1699, and is a two-story, five-bay, Colonial era brick dwelling with a hipped roof and interior end chimneys. The front facade features bricks that are molded or carved into a wavy pattern. A one-story wing was added in 1975. The original Indian Banks was built in 1699 on the site of a Moraughtacund Indian village visited by Captain John Smith (1580–1631), in 1608, but the name, Indian Banks, was not recorded until 1822.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
