The Winston Tower (formerly Wachovia Building) is a 410 ft (125 m) tall skyscraper in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina, completed in 1966 with 29 floors. It was the tallest building in North Carolina until it was passed by Charlotte's Jefferson First Union Tower in 1971.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]

After a 2003 renovation in which all 6,033 windows were replaced with tinted glass to save energy, the building received its current name.[3][4] It has 436,000 square feet (40,500 square meters) of office space.[5] As of 2009, Winston Tower is the second tallest office building in the city, behind 100 North Main Street; both have previously served as the corporate headquarters for Wachovia Bank.
