A postmodernist building, finished in 2002, that reminds old Pa Pitt of Liberty Center in Pittsburgh in its use of expensive materials in a neo-Art-Deco fashion. It is number 11 on Wikipedia’s List of Tallest Buildings in Winston-Salem, where you may see a familiar picture.
Built in 1915, the O’Hanlon Building was designed by Winston-Salem’s own Willard C. Northup. It was the tallest building in North Carolina when it opened, narrowly edging out the Wachovia Bank and Trust Company Building, until in turn being edged out by the Wachovia Bank and Trust Company Building when the latter added a ninth floor.
The Moravians of Old Salem were all equals, but Edward Belo must have seemed considerably more equal than the rest. The Belo House was built in 1849 as a combination mansion and store, with the third floor and portico in the central section along Main Street added in 1859—the third floor housing some of Mr. Belo’s employees. It is now a retirement home managed by the Moravian congregation.
