Fall School

Fall School is a historic school building in Nashville, Tennessee, located on 8th Avenue South and displaying Renaissance-inspired architectural features. The structure was designed with individual classrooms distributed throughout the building.

The building was constructed in 1898 and remains the oldest public school structure still standing in Nashville. It earned a listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

The building bears the name of a Nashville businessman who championed education in the mid-1800s. Today visitors can see how the structure reflects the educational ideals of that era.

The building can be viewed from the exterior and displays its original school architecture from the era. The location is situated in an accessible area of the city.

The building was among the first in Nashville to feature individual classrooms rather than a single large study hall for all students. This approach was relatively new to school design at the time.
