The school was located in the Howard Building, at the corner of Dorrance St. and Westminster St. in downtown Providence.
In 1883, the address was given as Paris Hall, 193 Westminster Street.
An 1892 listing gives the address as 174 Westminster Street.

Although Bryant College occupied the Howard building in 1863, the two schools are not to be confused.
Scholfield's was a competitor of Bryant, and by 1882 Bryant was located in the Hoppin Homestead Building down Westminster Street.

There have been four Howard Buildings on the site.
Twice it burned down.
The third building, home of Scholfield's, was built 1857 and demolished in 1957 after Hurricane Carol flooded downtown.

The main hall of the Howard building was a huge space, with a capacity to hold 1200 students.
It measured 108 feet long by 62 feet wide, and 25 feet high from floor to ceiling; it was illuminated by the light of fourteen windows by day, and fourteen chandeliers by night.
The school claimed in 1867 advertisements to be the "largest commercial college in the world."
