Then and Now

Theodore “Sam” P. Streibert ’55

Beginning at Green Vale, Sam Streibert knew that he wanted to become an architect. He now heads his own firm on Cape Cod, Streibert Associates. Under his design mantra that “projects should look like they have always belonged,” Streibert specializes in colonial New England designs and restorations. His work has centered around the Boston area, including Newton, Sudbury, Scituate, Essex, and New Hampshire. The quaint Old Village of Chatham features many Streibert restorations.

“The practice of architecture confronts you with all types of problems. I like solving the little problems with structures and the big ones with meeting people’s needs,” says Streibert. He traces the development of key skills back to Green Vale, where he recalls making salad bowls on the lathe in Mr. Gunn’s shop class. He also proudly points to a perfect score on the final exam in Mr. Wagner’s 8th Grade math class, solidifying an academic interest extending all the way to the structural calculations that he uses in his practice today. At Green Vale, his talent for the high jump at Blue-Gold Day extended to his continuation of the sport at both Hotchkiss and Yale.

Streibert adds: “I remember the toboggan slide, Joe Julian's boxing lessons and his rainy day marching drills in the gymnasium.”
