Reynolds Building, Art Deco skyscraper in Winston-Salem, United States
The Reynolds Building is a 314-foot (96 m) Art Deco skyscraper with 21 floors of limestone, granite, and marble in Winston-Salem. Its vertical lines and ornamental details shape the exterior and display the craftsmanship of this building style.
The building was completed in 1929 and originally served as headquarters for the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. It later gained recognition for its architectural importance and influence on skyscraper design across the country.
The building expresses the Art Deco language of an era when skyscrapers represented corporate power and progress. Its stone-clad exterior and geometric details reflect a style that defined American cities in the 1920s.
Today the building houses the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel in its lower floors, along with the Katharine Restaurant and residential apartments above. Visitors can explore the lobby and the design elements of the foyer even if they are not staying or dining at the property.
The Empire State Building in New York sends a Father's Day card to the Reynolds Building every year as acknowledgment of its architectural influence. This unusual gesture shows the lasting connection between two landmark skyscrapers.
