Wake Forest National Register Historic District The Wake Forest National Register Historic District was listed in the National Register of His- toric Places in 2003. The original campus of Wake Forest College is at the center of the historic district. The small, well-landscaped, rectangular campus, which has housed the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary since 1956, contains eight historic Colonial Revival-style brick buildings built between 1888 and 1953 during the district’s period of significance. The town of Wake Forest grew around the campus. To the north, lie the stylish Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne and Classical Revival-style dwellings of the college faculty. To the south and west, are the twentieth century dwellings of the town’s citizens who built up a community around the college. The district embodies the history of Wake Forest and includes houses, churches, businesses, schools, and the Community House. The district is roughly bounded by the CSX railroad tracks to the east, Holding Road to the South, Woodland, Durham, and Wingate to the west, and Oak to the north.
