Both buildings also relate to High Street, with separate walkways from High Street, and drops off steeply to the rear of the carriage house, leading down to Main Street below.

The presence of the carriage house, reached not by an alley but by a winding drive from the street, is a significant feature of this property and a prevalent attached copy of the 1882 Atlas of the City of Springfield, development in this section of feature which was afforded by the size of the building lot but which also ascribes a certain the front of the lot, rather than to a rear alley or side street.

Added to the house in about 1900, this porch originally had a porte cochere over the driveway to the west, since removed. It is unclear from historic mapping whether the house previously had a porch, although the plain treatment of the first floor west window and evidence of a former door opening on the west side of the pavilion would indicate that a small porch may have been located here at one time. The east and west elevations of the house continue the bracketed cornice and frieze window treatment found on the main facade.

The nominated property is prominently located on East High Street, an area of large and fashionable homes that were built for Springfield's political, business and industrial leaders during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The mostly large-scale homes built along this street, designed in Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Renaissance Revival, Richardsonian Romanesque, Colonial Revival, and Neoclassical Revival styles, reflect the architectural styles and building materials that were preferred during this period by the areas, East High Street developed during the mid to late 19th century as Springfield's winding driveway and sidewalks; the Italianate-style brick house that is set back from the street; and the presence of the original carriage house all contribute to the character and significance of this property.

Beyond the railroad crossing, the lots become substantially larger, ranging from a corner lot of 441 feet in width to smaller lots of 100 feet in width, and rear alleys are less common.

Several of the residential buildings shown have associated carriage houses to the rear, reached by winding driveways from High Street that are outlined on the atlas map as well. This trend continues to the east of Sycamore Street, with the exception of two short blocks where lots range from 37 to 99 feet in width and any carriage houses are Greenmount). Most of these are shown with a curvilinear drive from High Street to the Carriage houses were clearly an important part of the development of this street and a important component of the overall property, relating to the house itself rather than a side street or alley. Some of the buildings shown in 1882 remain standing today, including several reached by a winding drive. A total of nine of the pre-1882 carriage houses remains on East High Street between Foster Street and Greenmount Avenue, out of a total of 26 that existed in 1882.

The majority are brick; some have been covered with stucco and adapted to new uses.

Pringle in 1881 for $13,000, clearly indicating the construction of the house and carriage house, both of which are shown on an 1882 atlas map of Springfield.

Pringle was admitted to the Bar in 1863 at the age of 25 after graduating from Oberlin College and studying law with the Springfield County, continuing in this position through re-election until 1875. Throughout his career, Pringle maintained a law office in downtown Springfield, sometimes as a sole proprietor with Samuel Shellabarger, a well-respected law practitioner who had represented Springfield in the United States Congress from 1860 to 1873, and with whom Pringle had read law as a student. Pringle helped organize the Clark County Bar Association in 1878 and was one of three members of the Law Library Committee.

Beginning in about 1879-80, Pringle began a partnership with James Johnson, Jr., an attorney who served as Springfield's mayor during the 1890s (and also lived on East High Street). Pringle went on to be elected to the Ohia Senate in 1879 and was re-elected to a second term in 1885. He remained politically active through the late 1880s, when he was a candidate for Lieutenant Governor under Governor Foraker. trials which he prosecuted, putting an end to what had been called "The Reign of Terror" of 25 to 30 men who roved the city.

Prior to buying this house, the family had lived from about 1871 in a smaller brick Italianate home closer to downtown Springfield on East High Street, a house still standing.

During this period, homes were being built on larger and more spacious lots toward the eastern end of this street, including several for local politicians and industrialists. Among these were two homes occupied by Asa Bushnell (Ohio governor 1896-1900) during the 1870s and 1880s. By the time he purchased this East High Street residence in 1881, Pringle had become well known in his home county as a private lawyer, prosecuting attorney and state senator. His purchase of this larger property, with its ample brick house and rear carriage house, reflected his standing in the community, as well as his accumulated wealth It appears likely that Pringle added the brick rear wing on the house during his residency, replacing the earlier frame wing.

In 1878, Patric returned to Rochester, New York, where he developed an entirely new drill, which he named the "Superior Drill." Five years later, in 1883, Patric moved to Springfield permanently, where he organized the Superior Drill Company with $250,000 of capital stock. In 1897, Superior Drill purchased the celebrated East Street shops of the Champion Machine Company, where it manufactured the Superior Drill with great success and employed 250 men.
