The Church Hill Grammar School was built 1889-90. The school was build during a transitional period for schools in Pawtucket. In the early 1880s schools were small woodframe buildings which were overcrowded and in poor condition. The Church Hill school replaced a smaller woodframe building constructed in 1841. The building was designed by the architectural firm William R. Walker & Son in a Queen Anne style.  The school was a modern facility incorporating  the advancements in technology and sanitation.  The building constructed of fireproof brick was well lit with banks of windows on one side of each classroom and had a modern ventilation and heating system.

The Church Hill Grammar School remained in service as a school until 1949 and then served as school administrave offices until 2006.  The building is currently vacant and not in used awaiting an adaptive reuse.
