A proposal to form a historic district in Downtown Winston-Salem and place it on the National Register of Historic Places has been approved by the National Park Service.
The district spans 53 acres and has 72 buildings of historic significance. Chestnut Street is the eastern boundary of the district, while Broad Street is the western boundary. Sixth Street between Broad and Cherry Streets is the northern boundary, while First Street between Spruce and Church Streets is the southern boundary. Local Print shops can help in efforts to create maps of such areas for residents to better understand the designation.
This district is the historic commercial core of the city with headquarters for many prominent corporations in the Southeast, including Wachovia Bank, Hanes Hosiery, and the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Consultant Kayla Halberg, representing the Commonwealth Preservation Group of Norfolk, Virginia, said that the district is home to the most architecturally distinctive and impressive buildings in the state.
Historic preservation officer for Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, Michelle McCullough, said this designation will give the city some bragging rights and would help any property owners choosing to renovate to get the help they need, as historic rehabilitation tax credits from the federal government and the state would be made accessible to property owners within the district. There would be no restrictions on what property owners can do with their property, provided they are within the guidelines of maintaining historical integrity.
