try’s largest and perhaps most dangerous cities, Bill Hoyt has proven his case. You can go home again. Ann Waynick Hill lives, with her husband, Dr. Edward G.


Hill, their two children (who have gone away to college), five dogs, three cats, and two birds in the Hall House on Main Street in Old Salem. It is her fourth home in the district. She spent her childhood in the 1831 Kuehln House, four


blocks to the south, which her grandparents bought in the 1930s when Old Salem was still only a dream of those devoted to its restoration. Dr. and Mrs. George Waynick, Sr., who were both dentists, started the initial renovation of the Kuehln House in the mid-1940s. Her parents, Dr. George Waynick, Jr. and his wife Carolyn, lived in the cottage behind until they moved in with his widowed mother in 1958, when Ann was two years old. They continued the restoration work. Ann became the third generation of her family to live


in the Kuehln House. After attending school at Summit, Brunson, and Wiley she transferred to Salem Academy for her high school years. Then she was off to Chapel Hill where she earned her degree in nursing. When she was at Salem Academy she worked summers in Old Salem.

Following their term, they traveled “all over Europe” before coming back to Salem. They lived in the cottage on Church Street, behind her parents in the Kuehln House, while Ed finished his third year residency and Ann worked in pediatrics at Baptist Hospital. The Hills then moved to Columbia, South Carolina, where


he spent two years in family practice before coming back to Bowman Gray to do a residency in neurology. Two years of living on the Winston side of town was about all they could manage. They bought the Denke House on Salt Street and Ann was back home. Ed, who is a serious history devotee, was equally thrilled to be back in Salem. They stayed on Salt Street for thirteen years before buying the Hall House for more room for their children, son Gray and daughter Anna Jarrett. Ann’s favorite memory of growing up in Salem is of


the frequent salons in her daddy’s basement. The eclectic groups that gathered in her house included, in her words, “everybody in Winston-Salem. There were writers, policemen,
