The near-windowless box in Winston-Salem should be on the list. It was built as the Modernist-style headquarters for Security Life & Trust Company in 1951, with windows. In 1962, someone decided to reclad the building in the International-style and remove nearly all of the windows. Each floor only has one narrow window on the northwest corner. The ground floor has doors on the east and west ends, but no windows.

These are the only windows in the building! One window on each floor!

Enjoy this ugly building while you can. It's rumored Trammell Crow is in the process of buying it for a large mixed-use development and may demolish it or take it down to the frame and reclad? Demolition is most likely. No one wants a corner office or apartment with no windows.
