In [[1948]], following the original desire of Mother [[Margaret O'Keefe]], Pensacola Hospital's name changed to [[Sacred Heart Hospital]] of Pensacola. In [[1965]], the hospital moved its operations to North [[Ninth Avenue]]. After the hospital left, a private school for Liberal Arts used the building from [[1969]] through [[1978]], but lack of maintenance forced the school to abandon the building. Tower East Group, Inc., a private enterprise owned by partners [[B. Neal Armstrong]] and [[Stephen F. Ritz]], purchased the property in March [[1980]]. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on [[February 16]], [[1982]].
The public areas are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, for touring. The lower levels of the building has several house have been restored and maintained and house three restaurants (Madison's Diner, O'Zone Pizza Pub, and Et Cafe), and a local theater company(Loblolly Theater), as well as many a veterinary clinic, yoga studio, and a Montessori school, along with several private offices. The upper levels are closed to the public, and have been out of use since Sacred Heart relocated to N. [[Ninth Avenue]].
