[ARCHIVED] National Park Service Approves Downtown Winston-Salem Historic District

The National Park Service approved the proposal to create a Downtown Winston-Salem Historic District and place it on the National Register of Historic Places. 

The district is bounded on the east by Chestnut Street and on the west by Broad Street. The northern boundary is Sixth Street between Cherry and Broad streets, and the southern boundary is First Street between Church and Spruce streets. 

Property owners within the district will have access to federal and state historic rehabilitation tax credits. Creation of the district does not impose any restrictions on what property owners can do with their property. 

The district represents the historic commercial core of the city and includes the headquarters for such prominent Southeast corporations as the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Hanes Hosiery, Hanes Knitting and Wachovia Bank.

Later it was significant as the site of civil rights demonstrations that prompted Winston-Salem to become the first city in North Carolina to desegregate its lunch counters and restaurants in 1960.
