The '''Christ Church Parish School Building''' is a historic school building located at 212 [[Church Street]]. It is a part of the [[Historic Pensacola Village]] and is owned by [[West Florida Historic Preservation, Inc.]]
The building was erected a schoolhouse for [[Christ Church Parish]], which had previously established two other schoolhouses on the street; the first, built in [[1856]], was destroyed during the [[Civil War]], and its replacement also burned in [[1884]]. The third and current structure was built by [[A. V. Clubbs]] for a cost of $923 and completed in [[1886]]. The parish used the building as a school and chapel until [[1897]], after which it was leased to the [[Escambia County School Board]] and became known as '''Public School No. 74'''.
[[Scarrit Moreno]] purchased the building in 1900 and converted it to rental housing.
In [[1996]] the building was purchased by the [[Historic Pensacola Preservation Board]] (now WFHPI) and became the headquarters of the [[Old Hometown]] program. It is currently occupied by the [[University of West Florida]]'s [[Institute for Innovative Community Learning]].
