M. Ruth Little, The Town and Gown Architecture of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 1795-1975 (2006)
One of nine houses in Highland Woods designed by Webb Associates using a “core plan” of units that could be selected by each homeowner. Linked by a custom-designed entrance, one set of plans comprised living room, dining room, and kitchen and another bedrooms, baths, studies, and storage. Like most of Webb’s Highland Woods houses, this modest dwelling displays characteristic Webb features of deep overhanging eaves, vertical wood siding, and large windows in the living and dining areas. The house was built for UNC dental school professor, Robert Sager, and his wife, Elizabeth. John C. Parker Jr., a physician, and his wife owned and occupied the house from 1967 to 2012. Architect Arielle Schechter designed the 2018 renovations to the house.
