Continuing our tour of Spring Island... The River House is on the north western end of the island and over looks Chechessee Creek.
Interiors that do not feel like a "club" but a friend's attractive and comfortable home. In this area of the River House, the walls are lined with artwork by artists who have visited and been inspired by the many facets of this island.
In addition to the dinning areas and other pleasant rooms, there is a post office that exemplifies the graciousness of the buildings here---new, well done construction and amenities, but lovely old, time worn materials
Leaving the main building and going through the adjoining breezeway, you come to our favorite room. Lots of books about the island, nature, and history, interesting photos on the walls of the history of the island, and Spring Island's signature cookies!
And the Nature Center next door...
The architecture and interiors connect you to the island itself---the geography and unique flora and fauna. An abundance of life that has lured people throughout the years and so helped to shape and determine the history and culture here.
