In Greensboro, the Blue Bell Company Plant dates to the 1920s and preservationists say it exemplifies the textile factories of the era. The company was famous for its overalls and most of the workers at the plant were women at a time when it was hard for them to join the workforce.
Farmvilleâs H.B. Sugg School building is among five North Carolina sites named recently to the National Register of Historic Places.
The properties were reviewed by the North Carolina National Register Advisory Committee and were subsequently nominated by the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Officer and forwarded to the Keeper of the National Register for consideration for listing in the National Register, according to the state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
âThese historic places are part of North Carolinaâs rich and diverse story, and they need our protection,â said department Secretary Susi H. Hamilton. âThe National Register is a vital tool in the preservation of our stateâs historic resources, and North Carolina has long been a leader in the nationâs preservation movement.â
