The Fall School is the oldest public school building remaining in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S..[2] Built in 1898, it was named after Phillip S. Fall, a Nashville businessman and member of the Board of Education from 1865–1867.[3][2] The Fall School was notable because it had individual classrooms, unlike the earlier study hall design.[2] It served as an elementary school until 1970, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 19, 1979.[4] In 1982 a private company renovated it for offices, and today it serves as home of the Nashville Church of Scientology & Celebrity Centre.[5]
