Abstract:
Sam Phillips built a two-room law office on Franklin Street across from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the 1840s. Since then the property has changed owners only a few times. Phillips served as a law professor at the university, as an auditor for Governor Zebulon Vance's Confederate cabinet, and as solicitor general under President Ulysses S. Grant. In 1895 the property was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Adam A. Kluttz. They rented the office to single professors and used it as a guest house during the summer months. The property was then given to the Kluttz's nephew Walter Creech, a student at the university. Following Creech's death, the property was sold with guidance coming from the Chapel Hill Preservation Society. Former UNC students Phillip and Stephanie Ben bought the property to convert it into their home. They are planning to renovate the home as well as add several additional rooms. All modifications to the home are subject to the Preservation Society's and the U.S. Department of Interior's approval.
