Welcome! We are glad you visiting our webpage. We communicate about events and other activities here and on social media. This page gives you quick access to both.

We are actively working on numerous areas and we would be happy to have your support, either through financial support or as a volunteer.

Some of our current projects are

  • National Register nomination for Bethania Freedman neighborhood (we are raising funds to pay consultants)
  • a Modernist house tour in March 2025
  • Working with Ardmore Neighborhood Association on a solution for saving historic Ardmore homes from demolition by the hospital
  • We are also always working on identifying and working with owners to establish preservation easements on historic buildings
  • Technical workshops on graveyard preservation and historic wood windows so stay tuned!

We have a goal to host a monthly activity that helps promote a historic building, so keep an eye on the upcoming events below. If you have a suggestion let us know.  Some events are exclusive to members or members get first chance to register so consider joining which also helps as a financial supporter. Our Facebook page also has weekly postings to help talk about historic preservation and architectural terminology.

    Preservation Forsyth is excited to offer its members a tour of The Lofts at Whitaker Park; a luxury apartment community that was converted from the historic R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company Buildings 2-1 (constructed in 1937) and 2-2 (built in 1955). 

    The tour, which will take place on Saturday, October 26 from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. will be led by Frye Properties who manage the property and is overseeing the renovations. Attendees will learn about the history and use of each building, their later modifications, and current use. They will get to see historic elements of the buildings, such as the brick walls and steel sash windows that are being retained and repaired; and they'll also learn why the area that the buildings are located in is referred to as "Tiretown."

    The two buildings "were integral to the growth of R. J. Reynolds" and are "recognized for their contributions to the industrial and economic development of Winston-Salem and have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to their architectural and historical importance." Don't miss your chance to explore them! 

    The event is open to members of Preservation Forsyth and the fee is $30.00 per person. Refreshments will be provided. Space is limited, so be sure to register soon!
