Richard Burke Schnedl (1926-) is a North Carolina-based architect who specialized in residential design. Schnedl received a B.Arch. from North Carolina State College in 1952 and worked as a designer and draftsman for Leslie N. Boney. In 1953, Schnedl and his brother Edwin created a firm known as Schnedl & Schnedl in Reidsville, North Carolina. The firm operated until 1964 when Edwin Schnedl moved to Alexandria, Virginia. Richard then became a partner at Hayes, Howell & Associates, and later ran his own firm called Richard B. Schnedl, Architect and Richard B. Schnedl & Partner. After Schnedl left, the firm became John W. Thompson, Architect, P.A., which as of 2011, still operates in Southport, North Carolina. Schnedl’s projects were primarily residential, many of which were located at Bald Head Island, North Carolina.
