The Shaffner House

This Queen Anne styled dwelling was originally the residence of Henry Fries Shaffner. Born on September 19, 1867 to well known Moravian parents, Mr. Shaffner stayed close to his roots. After graduating from the University of North Carolina, he returned home to run his father's pharmacy. Later, he was an officer in the Briggs-Shaffner Company which manufactured machines that cut tobacco for cigarettes. When the towns of Winston and Salem were joined, he became a member of the first board of aldermen. However, it was through founding Wachovia Loan and Trust Company with his uncle in 1893 that Mr. Shaffner earned his reputation as a prominent businessman.
