The Shamrock Knitting Mills were the foundation of the Hanes empire of socks and underwear. The building was designed in the “sawtooth” style to suck in even lighting from the north without direct sun. It is now home to the Sawtooth School for Visual Art.
Opened in 1966, the Winston Tower, originally Wachovia Building, was designed by Cameron Associates. Truliant bought naming rights a few years ago.
Opened in 1929, the Reynolds Building was designed by Shreve & Lamb, who would go on to design the Empire State Building in a very similar style.
Note the tobacco-leaf ornamentation in the metalwork.
