The Church Hill Grammar School, now the Edward J. Creamer Pawtucket School Administration Building, is a historic school building at 81 Park Place in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. It is a 2+1⁄2-story structure, finished in brick trimmed with granite. It is an elegant example of Queen Anne styling, designed by the Providence firm of William R. Walker & Son and built in 1889–90. It has a cross-gabled slate roof, a prominent bell tower with pyramidal roof, and entrances recessed under shed-roof porches. The building served as a school until 1946, and then as an administration building until 2006.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.^[1] From 2018 to 2021, the former school was converted into a collection of 14 residential apartments.^[3]
