New Book: Winston-Salem: Then & Now
Posted: June 1, 2008
Winston-Salem has experienced many changes since the towns of Winston and Salem were legally joined in 1913 to become one city. The changes have come gradually, and are not always evident until the recent is compared to the past. Winston-Salem: Then & Now pairs a historical photograph of Winston-Salem with a current photograph of the same location or building, accompanied by a caption that elaborates on the changes that have occurred over the years. The book shows street scenes, public buildings, houses, businesses, restaurants, and recreational areas in downtown Winston-Salem and along Reynolda and Stratford Roads. Can you imagine cows grazing in a pasture across from Hanes Mall, or streetcars on West Fourth Street, or signs along South Main Street advertising 28-cents a gallon gasoline? Take a ride down memory lane and see what’s been happening in Winston-Salem - Then and Now!
