Converting a mid-nineteenth-century Bank into a School
November 23rd, 2022
When creating a master plan for the school, the abutting Southport Savings Bank building wasn’t included. However, when the opportunity to purchase the building came about, The Southport School jumped at the opportunity.
The Southport School, Peterman Architects and C.E. Floyd Company collaborated to convert The Southport Savings Bank into the Arts and Music Building. The Southport Savings Bank was erected in 1863-65 and had been the longest continuously operating bank building in the United States. According to the Library of Congress, the original building specifications for the mason and carpentry work have been preserved and are valuable records of mid-nineteenth-century construction techniques.
The Southport School was committed to restoring the building’s historic exterior, while updating the interior to suit the needs of the school. Although a relatively small project, it was complex and full of challenges that needed to be addressed around accessibility, life safety, building systems, structural changes, and the removal of the granite vault in the core of the building.

The Contractor Should Control the Builders Risk Policy. Here’s Why.
February 23rd, 2022
Builders Risk insurance is a first party contract that provides property insurance to the project as it’s being constructed. The policy can also include the existing structure in the event there’s a renovation project and the owner’s property insurance carrier is uncomfortable covering the existing building while it’s being renovated.
The construction project needs a Builders Risk Policy because General Liability Policies, which are a negligence-based policy and have several exclusions, do not provide adequate protection in the event of a loss.
