Day 14: Remembering Local History during Black History Month In the mid-1920s, Dr. William H. Bruce constructed the Bruce Building to house his medical practice, a pharmacy, professional offices, a florist, dry cleaners and a pool parlor. The Horton Branch of the Forsyth County Public Library was also housed in the Bruce Building in 1927. By 1958, Bruce Building tenants included Naomi C. McLean’s stenography business, Boy Scouts of America, NC Mutual Insurance Company and sev…eral doctors’ offices. It was demolished in 1992. 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.
