Description
“The new Hall of History Building in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has been completed. It is a three-story brick structure which cost $32,000.” The building was constructed with the assistance of either the federal Works Progress Admininstration (WPA) or the Public Works Administration (PWA); sources vary on the attribution.
The building was an “annex” to the Moravian Boys School in Salem. It was demolished in 1985.

The only notable change to the building was an annex built by the Works Progress Administration in 1937-1938. This annex was demolished in 1985 during a restoration by Old Salem, Inc.
