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 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 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 in disuse since the removal of use since [[Sacred Heart relocated Hospital]] to N. [[Ninth Avenue]], and are closed to the public.
