RICHARD BURKE (DICK) SCHNEDL (1926-2012) Born in Lakeland FL and raised in Charlotte NC, Schnedl attended the Georgia Military Academy, graduating in 1944. He was a member of the first graduating class of the NCSU School of Design, where he studied under Jim Fitzgibbon, George Matsumoto, Terry Waugh, and Matthew Nowicki, graduating in 1952. He worked briefly for Leslie Boney, Sr. in Wilmington and William Bumgarten in Raleigh before joining his brother Ed in 1953 to form Schnedl & Schnedl in Reidsville NC. An admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright, Schnedl’s early residential designs reflect sophisticated open floor plans uncommon for Southern residences at the time.Around 1968, Schnedl partnered with architects Dick Mitchell, Tommy Hayes, and Calvin Howell at Hayes Howell in Southern Pines. He was the partner in charge of design for the award-winning African Pavilion building at the North Carolina Zoo. In 1984, Schnedl left Hayes Howell and moved to Bald Head Island, where over the remainder of his career he designed more than forty houses as his own firm.
