The St. Ann School closed in June 2009 after 89 years in operation. At the time, financial difficulties and low enrollment were cited as reasons for the closing.

The convent has been empty since 2014 when the parish closed and the sisters of The Trinitarians left Bristol.
In 2015, there was talk of a potential purchase by a Christian group but those talks fell through.

In summer 2017, BH Holdings Ltd. bought the property for $350,000, according to county property records.
