J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in 1919-1920 and extended in a second building phase from 1937 to the mid-1940s. It includes a 1920 bridge over Falling Branch.","why_significant":"The neighborhood reflects two stages of development: company-built bungalows from 1919-1920, then privately built houses after Reynolds sold its housing in 1938. Its alternating pattern of 1920s and 1940s houses records the change in ownership and race, and the original segregated street layout for white and Black workers. The 1920 Cameron Avenue bridge is described as being of statewide significance and among the earliest extant examples of its construction type in the eastern United States.","narrative":"Reynoldstown is a planned neighborhood of about ten blocks in Winston-Salem, created by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company for its workers. Building began in 1919 and 1920 with frame bungalows on large lots, some of them believed to be pre-cut Minter Homes designs. Streets were assigned by race: Jackson Avenue, the lowest street near Falling Branch, housed Black employees, while the higher eastern streets were for white employees. In 1938 the company sold its houses to private owners, and a second phase of construction followed through the mid-1940s. This added Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival houses, among them a large brick Tudor Revival house built in 1938 for a Black dentist, along with many small minimal traditional houses, producing an alternating pattern along the blocks. A 1920 bridge on Cameron Avenue served as the main entrance. The district has 184 contributing and 38 noncontributing resources, and it retains stone walls, granite curbs and sidewalks typical of early twentieth-century city neighborhoods.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"R.
