The district encompasses 46 contributing buildings in a commercial section of Winston-Salem. They were built between about 1907 and 1952, and most are one- or two-story brick buildings, sometimes with a stuccoed surface. Notable buildings include the Beaux-Arts style former United States Post Office (1914-1915, 1936-1937) with an addition by Northup and O'Brien, Brown-Rogers-Dixson Company Building (1928), Centenary Church Education Building (1920s), Pure Oil Station, City Market (1925), and Twin City Motor Company (1925).
