Wachovia Bank and Trust Company Building
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.

One West Fourth Street
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.
