[This is a set of 6 photos] This structure is in Elizabeth City, Pasquotank County, North Carolina. The brick Wineke-Penn Jo Apartment Building was built in 1921 and derives its name from the owner Fred Wineke (who sold the structure the next year) and from joint owners, Paul A. Penny and C. E. Jones, in 1946 who concocted the building's name from their own last names. It is a distinctive building. The symmetrical front façade has three main divisions--a 3-story center section and a 3-story bay on either side. The center section contains wide windows and an entrance from a small stoop. It conceivably is the stairwell. Seven steps lead from street level to the entry, which does not appear to be from 1921--a glass door with a single pane transom and single pane highlights on each side. A large window is on the 2nd and 3rd levels and a false (or non-functional) balcony. The bay windows are narrow and show the decorative dovetail joints. Above each bay area is a pointed parapet, which has two corbeled "dagger-like" brick ornaments delineating the bay section, and extending downward from what appears to be a metal roof.
The Wineke-Penn Jo Apartments is a contributing building in the Elizabeth City Historic District (the 1993 Boundary Expansion) and the National Register of Historic Places nomination form is at

The original district was listed October 18, 1977 with ID 77001007. Two boundary increases followed, providing more detailed information on structures within the district.
