8 West Third Street:
It's said work is currently under way, but I see no signs of anything happening? Maybe it is? If I had to guess, I would guess they may start when Main & Third is completed?

Steinhaugen Brewing Company: Built!
Yes, another downtown craft brewery, as Winston-Salem becomes one of southeast's top craft beer cities. We didn't have any photograph updates on this downtown craft brewery. Just permits and some discussion among those who love local craft beer. This brewery quietly opened this month. They currently have five beers, but expect to have more. The five beers you can try are Ginger-Jalepeno Beer, Sweet Potato Ale, Nula Blonde, Year Round Porter, and Tart Persimmon Blonde. All have received great reviews! I still can't find any photographs of the renovated building, but did find one photograph of their tanks. This craft brewery was the adaptive-reuse of an historic industrial building at Tenth Street and Ivy Avenue, in the Industry Hill Neighborhood of downtown Winston-Salem.

To all local breweries: If you upload photographs and tag them, I'll provide free advertising here, showing the construction and opening of your brewery. As long as I'm still updating the thread.

Twin City Motors Building Adaptive-reuse:
According to the magazine, this building was a final assembly facility for early Ford cars and a showroom, where you could buy the cars assembled there. Drivetrains and transmissions were assembled on the second floor and a dumbwaiter-style lift would take them to the third floor. The final cars were assembled on the third floor and moved down to the showroom or first floor loading area with a car elevator. The conveyor for the final assembly lines is still intact on the third floor. If you're interested in leasing office or retail space at Winston-Salem's Ford Factory, call: (336) 724-1715
