Honoring History Through Thoughtful Design
Before Walt Disney, there was Winsor McCay. Located in the heart of downtown Spring Lake, Michigan, Winsor Place brings new life to a historically significant site—the location of McCay’s childhood schoolhouse. A pioneer in American animation and a celebrated illustrator, McCay’s groundbreaking work helped shape the future of animation and inspired generations of artists.
Designed as a modern mixed-use community, Winsor Place blends residential living with the character and charm of downtown Spring Lake. The development creates a connected place for residents while honoring the legacy of one of the community’s most notable figures.

Community Impact
At HDJ, we believe great design can do more than shape buildings—it can strengthen communities, create opportunities, and improve lives. Winsor Place demonstrates how thoughtful design can preserve a site’s history while creating a new chapter for the future.
