Before New York had the Empire State Building, Winston-Salem had the dad. 🏙️
Completed in 1929, our very own Reynolds Building helped inspire its much taller and slightly more famous offspring in New York City.
Local legend says the Empire State Building sends its architectural father a card every Father’s Day. We assume it says:
Thanks for the great genes. Sorry I got all the height. 😁
Celebrate Dad with a piece of Winston-Salem history. This Original Empire State tee from Camel City Goods Co. was printed right here at Cotton Street Apparel and makes a pretty great Father’s Day gift for local dads, history-loving dads, architecture dads, or dads who enjoy reminding New York where it all started.
