    Terra Cotta on the 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.
