MoreThe William Roy Wallace Architectural Papers, circa 1913- circa 2000, contain architectural drawings and project files that document the work of Wallace and his associates. Included are plans for homes for many Winston-Salem tobacco and textiles scions from the 1930s to 1980s as well as for their counterparts in Burlington, Greensboro, High Point and Boone. Also included are designs created for various religious, educational, and commercial clients throughout the state. Drawings from Charles Barton Keen, Wallace’s mentor and a prolific designer of homes for the Philadelphia elite, who was also a favorite architect of wealthy tobacco and textile families in North Carolina, are also included here. Also included in this collection are drawings by Wallace's son, William Roy Wallace, Jr., and it is not always clear which Wallace was the architect for a particular drawing. A project index to the collection is available online. William Roy Wallace (1889-1983), a native of Pennsylvania, began his career in association with Philadelphia architect Charles Barton Keen (1868-1931), a designer of country houses for the Philadelphia elite. Keen created a second major body of work among the leading industrial families in the North Carolina Piedmont, including the famed Reynolda House (1912-1918) for the Reynolds family in Winston-Salem. Wallace worked with Keen as an office boy, a draftsman, and eventually as partner. In 1923 Keen and Wallace moved to Winston-Salem to manage the construction of the R. J. Reynolds High School and Auditorium. After Keen returned to Philadelphia, Wallace oversaw the Winston-Salem office and traveled back and forth from Philadelphia to supervise the firm’s many projects. Throughout the 1920s, the two architects worked on many of the great homes in Reynolda Park and Stratford Road in Winston-Salem, including the C. A. Kent House, the Robert Hanes House, and the P. Huber Hanes Sr. House. In 1928 Wallace settled permanently in Winston-Salem, where he established a practice with Harold Macklin and James M. Conrad. Like Keen, Wallace and his son William Roy Wallace, Jr., who joined the practice after World War II, continued in a Beaux Arts revivalist tradition that shaped the architectural heritage of Winston-Salem and other communities.
