Downtown Winston-Salem, see http://www.dwsp.org/
Building Highlight
- Wachovia Center- designed by Architect Cesar Pelli
Design
- The Moravian Arch influence is seen in the dome and entrance and the Moravian Christmas Star is mirrored in the marble mosaics in the lobby.
- The exterior is clad in olympia white granite from a single quarry in Sardinia, Italy.
- It is the only granite domed skyscraper in the world and the building surpassed Winston Tower as the tallest building in Winston-Salem.
History
- Built by Wachovia in 1995 they now only lease space in the building having sold it in 2004 to American Financial Real Estate Trust.
On the DWSP website check out the Places to Go tab, its my personal favorite for getting to know more about the local community-
