Description
Shell shaped old filling station, a historic landmark located on the corner of East Sprague and Peachtree Streets in Winston-Salem. Last one standing from the original eight built in the 1930's.
I lived in this area quite a few years back and remember passing by this unique building very well on many occasions....it would be hard to forget a big yellow clamshell! Always thought it was such a neat building so on a recent jaunt to my now neighboring town of Winston, I wondered if it was still there after so many years and there it was!
It is currently being used as a regional office and information center by Preservation North Carolina, which took over it's care in the 1990's and did some restoration work.
If you are ever in the area, it's a fun little surprise nestled amongst a mostly residential area with just a few businesses scattered about.
