JAMES NELSON SHERRILL, AIA (1926-2012) Sherrill was born in Winston-Salem. He attended Wiley Elementary then graduated from Reynolds High School in 1943. Between high school and NCSU, he spent three years in the Navy and was most impressed with the architecture of Cuba during five visits to that island. He entered the NCSU Architectural Engineering program in 1946 and graduated from what became the School of Design in 1951. After interning for several Raleigh architects, he worked for Clemmer and Horton in Hickory from 1953-1958. Four of his buildings designed while there won AIANC Awards. He did many buildings at Lenoir Rhyne College. He started his own firm in 1958.
He won an AIANC design award in 1962 for a Northwestern Bank branch in Hickory. He designed an addition to Gardner Hall (now Thomas Hall) on the NCSU Campus in 1965 that was completed in 1967. A lifelong artist, his works have been on display all around North Carolina, examples above. If you know more about the location or condition of the houses, please contact us.
