West End Historic District

The West End Historic District is a residential neighborhood in Winston-Salem with homes built from the 1800s through the 1900s. The buildings showcase Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman architectural styles that define the street.

The neighborhood grew as a wealthy residential area during Winston-Salem's period of rapid expansion. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 to protect its architectural character.

The tree-lined streets show how affluent families lived in earlier times and remain important to the community today. Walking through reveals how residents take pride in maintaining the character of their surroundings.

The neighborhood is easy to explore on foot with wide sidewalks and a clear street layout. Daytime visits work best since you can see the house facades and architectural details clearly.

Some of the original industrial buildings have been converted into spaces for local businesses like craft beer bars and small shops. These new uses show how the neighborhood functions and continues to evolve.
