Structure: Stanley Still House
Location: Kingsport, Tennessee
Architect: Hayes B. Fleming
Date: 1973
Tidbit: In Kingsport, Tennessee, there lived a man who loved the water. His name was Stanley W. Still. Now Still loved the water so much, he opened a bait & tackle shop, so he could sell the tools of the sea. But alas, that proved not enough…Still wanted to get closer to the water! So, he hired a local architect to design him a house perched high on a cliff, overlooking the water.

That architect was Hayes B. Fleming. Fleming was born in Belzoni, MS (in 1924), and studied architecture first at the Institute of Design at IIT and then at Harvard University Graduate School of Design. From 1960-1964, Fleming was a principal along with Hubert Bebb in the Gatlinburg firm Bebb & Fleming. After a few years at the firm, Fleming left and moved out to Johnson City, Tennessee where he would have a solid career designing late modern residences, including Stanley Still’s house.
