The Spriggs Group P.C.

Located on a high bluff overlooking a wide navigable waterway, this residence enjoys extended views of the water and marshlands. The structure is divided into three groupings:  living, sleeping, and service. The truncated-gable form repeats in each of the three wings. A semicircular shape occurs at each gable in the form of lattice, louver or glazing. The living area’s “great space” has a continuous clerestory which provides natural light throughout the 20-foot-high space. The public side of the residence is relatively closed, while the creek side opens out to a large patio. A dockhouse extending over the creek reuses details and materials found in the house.

The Administration and Classroom Building was designed to complement the adjacent Independant Presbyterian Church, which was constructed in 1890 and later designated a National Historic Landmark. Exterior finishes had deteriorated and were in need of extensive repair. The restoration included repair of stucco and stonework, replacement of the metal roof with shingles to match the church slate, and painting of stucco to match the church limestone and granite. New south entry steps of cast stone replicate marble steps restored at the north entry.
