M
ODERN BAKING CO.
has four levels of brick
and a fifth level with
metal siding, designed to
subtly reflect a successful,
growing business. The
stucco façade and canopy
that fronts North Fourth
would have been the office and administration
area adjacent to the factory floor. An elevator
gives access to an exposed walkway, intended
to give the feeling that it was added during
the “conversion” of a factory into residential
housing.
“I like the Modern Baking building the
best,” says Kersting, the architect for both
buildings. “It brings some of the industrial
aesthetic that would have been found in the
Nabisco building.”
The Weldon, a sleek art deco structure, also is
a tribute to the city’s past. The name comes from
the 1840s, when the 165-mile Wilmington to
Weldon line was the longest in the world. The
style is much more modern, though.
“It was cued off the art deco modular build-ing
next to it,” Kersting says.

The Weldon, with its art deco façade, was built
in 2007. The brick and metal siding of Modern
Baking Co. at 801 North Fourth built in 2006,
was designed to resemble a growing business.
