Fall School is the oldest public school building still standing in Nashville, Tennessee. It was built in 1898 at 1130 8th Avenue South and named after Phillip S. Fall, a local businessman and former member of the Board of Education. The school was known for having individual classrooms instead of a single study hall. It served as an elementary school until 1970 and covers about 1.4 acres. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 19, 1979.

In 1982, a private company renovated it for office space. In 2007, the Church of Scientology purchased the building and renovated it for the Church of Scientology & Celebrity Centre Nashville, with a grand opening on April 25, 2009.
