A small but very rich stone building. Photographers with nothing to do but walk around the streets all day will appreciate knowing that the corner store has an old-fashioned deli counter where you can get sandwiches made to order.

Realty Building
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.

315 West Fourth Street
A well-proportioned front with a row of arched second-floor windows that make a strong impression.

253–245 West Fourth Street
An extraordinarily broad arch surrounded by marble (which might have been a later remodeling) is the most distinctive feature of this building. Upstairs looks like a fine place for a small ballroom.

Pepper Building
Tobacco leaves are a prominent feature in the Art Deco ornaments on the Pepper Building, built as a department store in 1928. The architects were Winston-Salem’s stars Northup & O’Brien. It is now a Hotel Indigo.
The back of the building was once partly covered by another building demolished years ago. It looks as though another building will finally replace the demolished one. Meanwhile, the painted “PEPPER BUILDING” sign is still visible on the back; part of the one on the side was obscured by what appears to be a new structure for elevators.
