JD Sparks says this was not a Sparks design. However, Builder Pete Minarick and his daughter, Cherry, identify it as a Sparks design. It was not one of their favorites ("small, weird brick"), and it was probably torn down due to lack of maintenance.
UPDATE 6/2023: K Lloyd, identifies Ripple as the work of Donald Thaden, based on a preliminary plan drawing
