The c. 1885 Watkins Building is located in the Henderson Central
Business Historic District in Henderson, North Carolina. The two-story
brick building houses features two commercial spaces on the first floor,
flanking a central entrance that leads to a stair to the second floor.
Originally constructed as offices along accessed by a central corridor
that runs the depth of the building and is lit by skylights, the second
floor has been vacant for a number of years. Rehab Builders (based in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina) will be converting the second floor space
into three apartments. The original room layouts, curved walls along
the corridor, windows and doors, hardwood floors and other architecture
features will be retained. The project is slated to receive both state
and federal Historic Preservation Tax Credits.
