Day 13: Remembering Local History during Black History Month Clark S. Brown Sr. was the founder of Clark S. Brown & Sons Funeral Home. After moving to Winston-Salem from Roanoke, Virginia, in 1930, Brown worked as an embalmer at The Fraternal Funeral Home. In 1931, Brown was named its manager, and by 1933, the home became Browns-Fraternal Funeral Directors, located at 201 East 7th Street. In 1935, Brown purchased the company outright, and by 1945 it became Clark S. Brown & S⋯⋯ons Funeral Home. In 1962, a new funeral home was constructed at 727 North Patterson Avenue, and a second generation of Brown funeral directors would begin with Clark’s sons. Brown Sr. ran Clark S. Brown & Sons Funeral Home until he died in 2001. The funeral home remains a pillar in the Winston-Salem community. The Depot Street Renaissance mural by Leo Rucker represents the contributions of just a few of the many individuals, businesses and institutions that made the neighborhood that is now the Innovation Quarter a prestigious community and a thriving hub of Black enterprise.
