The Montgomery Street School, located at 2500-2506 Montgomery Street, Louisville, Kentucky, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1852, and once used as a Civil War hospital, it has been a school since 1869. It has since been expanded and renovated.
It was formerly the Emma Dolfinger School, a public elementary school. Until 2008, the building was used by Portland Christian School as an elementary school, but Portland Christian has since consolidated the elementary school into its Portland Ave. campus one block to the south.
