Page 21 As part of a long-range , multiphase project to document African American resources in Winston-Salem, the city hired consultant Langdon E . Oppermann to continue her work within the project area and prepare a series of National Register nominations . A National Register Multiple Property Documentation Form , " The Historic and Architectural Resources of African-American Neighborhoods in Northeastern Winston-Salem , North Carolina (ca. 19004948) provides the framework for five individual properties listed during the past year , as well as four scheduled for nomination in 1998 - 1999 . One of the earliest religious buildings in the city outside the Moravian tradition, the Carpenter Gothic-style Lloyd Presbyterian Church, built between 1900 and 1907 , is the oldest remaining building in the neighborhood surrounding Depot Street . Equally impressive is the brick Gothic Revival Goler Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church , erected in 1918 - 1919 for a congregation established in 1881 . Increased production at the nearby tobacco company and general war-era prosperity created a need for housing in the Depot Street neighborhood. Built in 1941 or 1942 as rental flats , the virtually idential Craver Apartment Building and W . C . Brown Apartment Building are rare surviving examples of a type of multifamily brick residence built by a local construction company in African American neighborhoods in Winston-Salem just prior to World War II .

Standing as a lonely sentinel in a sea of marsh grasses at the mouth of the Cape Fear River on Smith Island, the ca. 1915 Bald Head Creek Boathouse served as a transfer point for goods and people from Bald Head Creek to the Cape Fear Lighthouse Complex . On the other side of the state in Macon County, the circa 1882 Wilson Log House is representative of the one-story-with- aloft log dwellings built in profusion throughout the nineteenth century in the mountains , but which rarely survive intact . Perhaps the state ' s second most important example , after Biltmore , of the Chateauesque style; the resplendent Hambley-Wallace House is a distinctive two-and-one-half story granite and pumpkin-colored brick mansion set amid significant landscaped grounds in Salisbury. In addition to the nominations cited above , the following properties (presented in order of listing) were entered in the National Register between July 1 , 1997 , and June 30 , 1998 : (former) Buncombe County Boys ' Training School , Asheville , Buncombe County . When built in 1927- 1928 , the well-preserved Tudor-Revival-style school designed by renowned Asheville architect Ronald Greene represented a new approach to the rehabilitation of delinquent youths that emphasized academic, vocational , and moral training . (Preparers: Frances Alexander and Richard Mattson) St . Luke's Episcopal Church, Asheville , Buncombe County . The small frame church constructed in 1894 at the mouth of a narrow mountain valley remains one of the few
