8 West 3rd becomes Historic Landmark

[twincity]

quotes from journalnow.com:

In a reversal of a decision by the Winston-Salem City Council that left preservationists stumped last year, the council's finance committee recommended yesterday that the former Wachovia bank building downtown be given historic-landmark status.

The former Wachovia Bank and Trust Co. building on the southwest corner of Third and Main streets was built in 1911, the third steel-frame high-rise building at the time in North Carolina.

This is good news! This building deserved landmark status (even though it just applies to the exterior.) I understand the interior has undergone much renovation over the years, and doesn't qualify. I would like to see some pics of the interior lobby before said renovations.
