TWIN CITY QUARTER, WHERE CMY
INNOVATION MEETS HOSPITALITY K
The Twin City Quarter is comprised of the newly
renovated Marriott Winston-Salem and Benton
Convention Center as well as the Embassy Suites
Winston-Salem, making it the ideal destination for
meetings, trade shows, or banquet events. Centrally
located in downtown, the complex includes 465 guest
rooms/suites and 175,000 square feet of meeting
space managed by one team from start to finish.
The Marriott Winston-Salem multimillion-dollar
reinvention features all new guest rooms and suites,
the M Club with 24-hour access to connect and
recharge, a 2,500-square-foot rooftop health club,
and a new restaurant, Butcher & Bull. The recently
redesigned Benton Convention Center incorporates
architectural nods to the city's historic arts, tobacco,
and textile roots, displaying more than 20 works
of art from North Carolina artists. All three properties
are connected for accessibility, and guests can easily
walk to nearby restaurants, shops, and museums
that define Winston-Salem as the “City of Arts and
Innovation.” twincityquarter.com

If you thought you knew Old Salem, think again. Walk into history the way it was meant to
be. A living museum without roped off rooms or encased artifacts. Grab a needle and thread and
join a Quilting Bee. Feel the fire of the Tavern as it cooks up a big midday meal, and help bake the
gingerbread. Immerse yourself in the new Old Salem.

HISTORY
From early 18th-century Moravian structures
to textile and tobacco factories to iconic skyscrapers,
Winston-Salem’s architecture tells a coming-of-age story.
By : l aura l e e
01. SINGLE BROTHERS HOUSE
1915 1911 1895 1769
Salem’s first institutional building is the
largest half-timbered building in North
Carolina. Boys 14 and up lived here to learn
a trade and operate the onsite craft shops,
distillery, brewery, and slaughterhouse.
Now part of Old Salem Museums and
Gardens, the house is open for tours.
600 S. Main St.
02. S.J. NISSEN BUILDING
Now a photography studio, the Nissen
Building originally housed a wagon
company to support the transport of
tobacco. The brick building with crenellated
towers and arched windows resembles
a medieval Romanesque fortress.
310 E. Third St.
03. SAWTOOTH SCHOOL FOR VISUAL ART
This jagged sawtooth building once
housed the Hanes Company’s hosiery
and sock factory. In 1982, the mill was
repurposed as creative classrooms,
its north-facing skylights perfect for
budding artists.
215 N. Spruce St.
04. THE HISTORIC MILLENNIUM CENTER
Originally constructed as a federal building
that over the years housed a post office,
courthouse and jail, this classic Revival-style
building is now a grand venue for weddings
and special events.
600 S. Main St.

The core of the city’s tobacco industry is
now the heart of the Innovation Quarter.
Former warehouses and the old power plant
now house upscale lofts, locally owned
restaurants, a popular craft brewery, retail
space, and cutting-edge research facilities.
500 E. Fifth St.

to a massive renovation, Union Station will

in a Beaux-Arts style with a grand limestone
portico and Corinthian columns.

07. PEPPER BUILDING
The new Indigo Hotel occupies the former
Pepper Building, an art-deco building
embodying the wealth of the roaring
20s. Significant design elements include
smooth terra-cotta, variegated brown and
sandstone brickwork, and brick pilasters.
104 W. Fourth St.
08. REYNOLDS BUILDING
The R.J. Reynolds Company hired New York
firm Shreve and Lamb to design this 1929
skyscraper that reflected the company’s
prominence. A year later, architects used
Winston-Salem’s 22-story ziggurat design
as their model for the 102-story Empire
State Building. (See fun fact below on the
building's use now)
51 E. 4th St.
09. SHELL SERVICE STATION
This 18-foot shell-shaped service station was
designed to get customers’ attention and
depicts the literalism in advertising at the time.
Now privately owned, the building is the only
shell shaped station remaining.

KÖRNER’S FOLLY
“The Strangest Home in America” in nearby Kernersville was built
by interior designer extraordinaire Jule Gilmer Körner in 1880
as a showplace for his wealthy clients. The 100-foot-tall Victorian
home features three floors and seven levels of elaborate mosaics
and intricate woodwork along with America’s first in-home theater,
15 fireplaces, and ceilings that range from a soaring 25 feet to just
five-and-a-half feet tall. You don’t need a reservation to see this
home for yourself, but if you call in advance, you can request a

“In late fall, we’re planning to reopen the main building
— the old L.A. Reynolds retail showroom that’s closest to the
greenhouse,” says Burgess, managing director and partner at
Mayfair Street Partners. “We’re converting it into a family

Hyphen Hops fills a unique niche for nearby craft brewers
by selling wet hops that don’t go through a drying process.
“When making a beer from wet hops, you have to brew within
24-48 hours after the harvest with hops right off the vine,”
explains Kohrt. “It’s perfect for craft brewers who usually only
