St. Vincent Villa Historic District is a national historic district located at Fort Wayne, Indiana. The district encompasses nine contributing buildings and one contributing site associated with a Catholic orphanage. The buildings were constructed between 1932 and 1950–1951, and include notable examples of Mission Revival, Romanesque Revival, and Bungalow / American Craftsman style institutional architecture. They include the Main Building (1932), four cottages (1932, 1951), the Boiler House (1932), and two bungalows (c. 1925). In 1978, the property was purchased from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend by the Fort Wayne YWCA and housed the largest women's shelter in Indiana. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
The property was put up for sale in 2004 and purchased by Imagine Schools LLC and occupied by their charter school. It was later occupied by the Horizon Christian Academy. The property was purchased on February 26, 2019 by Wallen Baptist Church of Fort Wayne, Indiana as a place of worship, to be restored and honored for its place in the history of Fort Wayne.
