“the tallest building in North Carolina until 1971”

The Winston Tower (formerly Wachovia Building) is a 410ft (125m) tall skyscraper in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, completed in 1966 with 29 floors. It was the tallest building in North Carolina until it was passed by Charlotte's Jefferson First Union Tower in 1971. After a 2003 renovation in which all 6,033 windows were replaced with tinted glass to save energy, the building received its current name.[2][3] It has 436,000 square feet (40,500 square meters) of office space.[4] As of 2009, Winston Tower is the second tallest office building in the city, behind 100 North Main Street; both have previously served as the corporate headquarters for Wachovia Bank.

Fascinating to experience this building being defined. My mom worked on a lower floor while the upper floors were still in flux. We would take the elevator to upper floors and find no walls. Total panoramic view. One of the scariest moments os my life was going to the roof and watching my mom lean over the guardrail at the edge, Years later my dad, who worked at a building on the cross corner, watched a guy hit the sidewalk after jumping from the roof. I always remember seeing the red spot on the plaza.
