Pfeiffer's Corner was a rural area bounded by Ellicott City, Waterloo, and Elkridge. The schoolhouse was built c.1895, but possibly earlier.

In 1988, a seventh-grade class from Hammond Middle School raised $16,500 to move the schoolhouse temporarily to Clarksville.

An architectural study, which determined the original plan, was completed in 1998. The building is scheduled to be relocated to Rockburn Park. PHC encourages keeping to that schedule and wants to assist the County in completing the restoration, move, and interpretation.
