Historic Washington Park
Washington Park is one of Winston-Salem's oldest residential areas and most attractive neighborhoods. Designed in the mid-1890s by Jacob Lott Ludlow. The neighborhood centered around a streetcar line and the 75-acre Washington Park. In January of 1992 the Washington Park Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Located close to downtown Winston-Salem and Old Salem, the Washington Park neighborhood offers a peaceful residential area with large and small homes in a variety of architectural styles. Residents include singles, couples, families with young children, and older folks who have spent most of their lives here.
