501 4th Street Revamp in Downtown Winston-Salem, Part 1

Working at the 500 W 5th building in Winston-Salem, NC has given me a unique perspective in downtown Winston-Salem's growth over the last few years.  One of my first jobs was working as an usher at the Steven's Center, when I was in high school back in the '90s.   Now that I'm back downtown, and cell phone cameras are ubiquitous, I've been snapping pictures of new and old things over the last few years.  Several LINK apartments have become a part of our landscape, and the newest one is directly behind 500 W 5th.  I've been chronicling the space since August 2019 and now three years later to the month, Link Apartments 4th Street will welcome their first residents next week.

The start of the project included demolition of the smaller building that stood behind the former GMAC building (now 500 W 5th).  Built as the home office for Security Life & Trust in 1963 (with an address of 420 North Spruce Street), an open house on June 14, 1963 invited the public to take a 30 minute tour for the Grand Opening that would "show you the highlights of this ultra-modern building".  Security Life was one of the first companies to completely computerize their records, and the 6 story windowless building, clad in aluminum, protected the huge mainframe computers with temperature and air quality control. (Source: North Carolina Collection of the Forsyth County Public Library)

In 1969, Security became Integon, an umbrella for their many operations.  In 1978, ground was broken behind the Security Life building for an 18 story skyscraper, which would be known as the Integon Building when it opened in 1980.  After an acquisition by General Motors, it became the GMAC building.   In 2017, Flow Companies purchased the former GMAC building and their headquarters are now housed on floors 15-18.  

This is part 1 of a series in the demolition and rebirth of the 420 North Spruce Street/501 4th Street space.   This first part begins in 2019 with the removal of the rooftop paneling in August through partial demolition of the building by the end of the year.

0 Comments

 
Reynolda, including Reynolda House, Reynolda Gardens, and Reynolda Village, is one of Winston-Salem's treasures.  Built as the estate of R.J. and Katharine Reynolds in 1912, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.  The house is now the Reynolda House Museum of American Art and is enjoyed by both locals and tourists.  

Reynolda is family friendly, and they offer tips for exploring the grounds with your children on their website here.

The village and gardens are free to explore, but there is an admission for Reynolda House.  There is free admission offered for museum members, children under 18, college students with ID, active or retired military personnel with ID, Wake Forest University  employees with ID and one guest, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center with ID and one guest, and EBT Cardholders and up to three guests.  For more details about free admission to Reynolda House, go to their website here.

Reynolda has several upcoming events to enjoy the museum for free!  Reynolda On the House offers free admission to the public on certain days this Fall, and Cinema Under the Stars is a free outdoor film series that includes free museum entry before the film starts.  See details for these free events below.  

You can find more free events across the Triad on our Piedmont Triad Living calendar here!

Friday, August 19⋅6:30 – 11:00pm
Cinema Under the Stars: Crooklyn (1994)

 FREE film screening at Reynolda! 

Reynolda’s Friday night outdoor film series continues this year with an exciting addition: free museum admission from 6:30–8:30 p.m. to see the fall exhibition, "Chrome Dreams and Infinite Reflections: American Photorealism." The film will be shown at dark, typically around 8:30 p.m., on the main lawn of Reynolda House. Gates open at 6 p.m., and a cash bar will be available. Films are curated by a/perture cinema, selected because they evoke the imagery and expression of "Chrome Dreams."

Spike Lee’s semi-autobiographical film takes place in 1975 Brooklyn, New York. It follows a young girl named Troy Carmichael (played by Zelda Harris), and her family. Troy learns life lessons through her rowdy brothers Clinton, Wendell, Nate, and Joseph; her loving but strict mother Carolyn (Alfre Woodard); and her naive, struggling father Woody (Delroy Lindo). This film is rated PG-13.

This event is free and open to the public. Advance registration is suggested, but not required.
