    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!
