Now the oldest continually operating bakery in North Carolina, it was established in 1799 by the Moravian Church, and is named for Christian Winkler, a Swiss-born baker, who began working there in 1807, after replacing original baker Thomas Butner Jr. The building, which now has a landmark designation, was constructed by Salem's master builder and mason Johann Gottlob Krause, shortly before his death. Its first story is built of uncut stone; the upper levels, of hand-made brick.Winkler and his third wife, Elizabeth, lived in the building with their six children. Their descendants subsequently lived in the property, including Winkler's grandson, Charles, and his wife, Alice, who ran the bakery in the late 19th century. They added a front porch and second-floor balcony. Bessie and Robert Spaugh, Alice's daughter and son-in-law, took over in 1913. They operated it until 1926, when it was sold outwith the family.During the 1930s and 1940s, the property was a tea room and a coffee house, while the upper floors became apartments. After World War II, the first floor was an antiques store, then a knitting store and a sewing shop. The bakery, which was restored to its original appearance in 1968, has been owned since 1963 by Old Salem Museum and Gardens. The workers arrive before dawn each day to start up the oven, which is fueled by wood, as it was originally. By around 7.30 am, the fire has normally faded, with the oven's bricks fully heated. The oven temperature at that point is around 700 °F (371 °C), but has to be left to cool to around 400 °F (204 °C).Winkler Book and Gift Store opened on the second floor of the building in April 2023.A commercial kitchen was established off-site to accommodate the volume of the bakery's sales.

St Philips has a second cemetery in the northeastern corner of the adjacent Salem Cemetery. Burials are organized chronologically. There are no statues, only uniform white square headstones (20" x 24" x 4" for adults) laid into the ground, because Moravians believe that everyone is equal in death. The graves are arranged in line with the 18th-century choir format: men and boys are separated from women and girls. Family ties are not considered; the cemetery itself is considered a family plot.The first burial in the cemetery was John Birkhead in 1771. The first female burial was that of Eva Anna Berothin two years later. As of 2023, the cemetery contains over 6,000 burials.The older cemetery entrance is via Cemetery Street, to the north. The more modern eastern section is accessed from the west by Cedar Avenue, which is a narrower extension of Church Street, or from the east via East Salem Avenue. The first sign greeting visitors arriving past Cedarhyrst, a Gothic Revival house at the southern gate of Cedar Avenue, reads "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth", which is taken from the Book of Job, chapters 19 to 25. Several similar signs continue up the Cedar Avenue hill.

The Mickey Coffee Pot is a large tin coffee pot which is a local landmark in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina. The coffee pot was created in 1858 by tinsmiths Julius and Samuel Mickey as an advertisement for their tin shop on South Main Street. The pot is considered to be a symbol of hospitality and an unofficial symbol of the city.The pot's original location on the curb caused it to be hit by wagons and cars. After the pot was damaged by a car in 1920, city officials attempted to keep the sign from being restored, as it was considered a safety hazard and illegal advertising. However, after local protest, the coffee pot was restored on a post farther from the street.The pot was relocated in 1959 when then Interstate 40 (now US 421/"Salem Parkway") went through the shop's location and again when Old Salem Road was created in the 1960s and the roads were reconfigured. The structure of the Coffee Pot is owned by the City of Winston-Salem. It is located at the north end of Old Salem in a traffic island formed by Old Salem Road and Main Street.
