Sunnyside-Central Terrace Historic District

Sunnyside-Central Terrace is a district of houses, workers' cottages, churches and factories on the southeast side of Winston-Salem, laid out on a grid west and east of Sunnyside Avenue. Development followed the extension of a streetcar line by 1901 and the Roanoke and Southern Railroad, completed in 1892 on the district's eastern edge. The Winston-Salem Land and Investment Company platted Sunnyside in 1892, and Central Terrace was platted in 1912 for middle-income residents. Industrialist H. E. Fries was involved in both platting efforts and in several firms located there, including Forsyth Manufacturing Company and Southside Cotton Mills. The district is regarded as locally significant for its mix of industrial and workers' housing, for its range of Late Victorian, Craftsman and Colonial Revival houses, and for its institutional buildings, which include four churches and a fire station.
