‘We Built This’ now at the Wake Forest Museum
‘We Built This — Profiles of Black Architects and Builders in North Carolina’ opened at the Wake Forest Historical Museum on April 16 and will remain through July.
Black men and women built some of Wake Forest’s most well-known and iconic structures, including the Calvin Jones House, the South Brick House, and the stone wall that encircles Wake Forest College’s original campus, now home to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and College (SEBTS). In bringing We Built This to Wake Forest, we hope to highlight the skill, creativity, and struggle of the Black craftsmen and women who helped build our community.
The museum at 414 North Main Street is open from 9 to 12 a.m. and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.
