John Sprunt Hill House

Built in 1911–1912, it was the home of John Sprunt Hill (1869–1961) and his wife Annie Watts Hill (died 1940), daughter of George Washington Watts, co-founder of the American Tobacco Company.^[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.^[1]

Hill bequeathed the Spanish Colonial Revival mansion to a foundation created in memory of his wife. The Annie Watts Hill Foundation was created to support non-sectarian, non-political female organizations.

As of 2008^[update], the Junior League of Durham and Orange Counties makes its home here, although it is open to any group meeting the aforementioned criteria.^[3]
