Bishop Spencer Place opened its doors on December 6, 1995, to a handful of courageous residents who braved the winter snow to move into the newly-constructed community. Twenty  years later, Bishop Spencer Place has grown and developed into the warm, friendly community it is today.
We’re proud of our history of service, and we’re blessed to serve the residents who call Bishop Spencer Place home. As we commemorate this landmark anniversary, we honor those who have been such an important part of our community for the past 20 years.

Please join us to celebrate! Cocktails and heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served.
