The Building
Originally constructed between 1895-1897, this landmark building is an exquisite
example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. Featuring rusticated stonework,
a corner tower, gable fronts and pointed arches. The architecture blends Norman
Romanesque tradition with the more finely articulated Gothic style. The historic
site retains all of its original exterior architecture, the the interior has
been transformed into modern 3 story condominium homes with street level offices
and commercial space.
The Builder
John Pilli has continued his family’s commitment to quality and attention
to detail for more than two decades. From his award-winning work at 5
Compromise Street in Historic Annapolis to the great number
of custom home developments and luxury new home communities, John remains
a creative force for development in Anne Arundel County. It was John’s
vision and determination that made the transformation of this historic
building a reality.
The Architect
Annapolis based Architects Gary Schwerzler and Pete Miller of 4th Street
Design understood John’s vision and carefully worked with each
client to recreate new interior spaces that capture the unique advantages
that only a building of this stature could offer. Towering three story
open spaces, private elevators, and smart use of architectural features
like century old stain glass, exposed beams, and molding have made Parish
House one of the City’s most notable buildings.
