After the library moved to larger quarters, this became Our Lady of Fatima Chapel, and so it remains today. But it still has that Carnegie Library look that was defined by Longfellow, Alden & Harlow. This one was designed by North Carolina’s own Edward L. Tilton.
Harold Macklin was the architect of this building, which opened in 1923. This was where the architect kept his office, and it would have made a favorable impression on potential clients.
Extreme simplicity avoids dullness with a tasteful arrangement of forms, in particular the ridged pilasters that give the building its Art Deco flavor.
This little building is of an earlier generation, but it also uses simplicity to its advantage. If you look closely on the roof, you may see someone looking back at you. Trade Street is lined with these life-size figures by various artists peering at you from unexpected locations.
Also known by its address, Eight West Third Street. Designed by Frank Pierce Milburn, it was the first steel-frame skyscraper in Winston-Salem and the tallest building in the city when it went up in 1911. In 1915, the O’Hanlon Building kicked it out of the top spot. To overcome that mortal embarrassment, the Wachovia Bank and Trust Company added a ninth floor, and in 1917 this became the tallest building again.
A well-proportioned front with a row of arched second-floor windows that make a strong impression.
