The The Shultz Shoemaker Shop is located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. is located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Shultz was rather ambitious and did not intend to spend his entire life bent over a cobbler’s bench. Unfortunately, Shultz was not wise in his choice of different vocations.
In the 1840s, he was not successful in an attempt to raise silkworms; later, he ran afoul of the town when he, without permission, attempted to set himself up as a hard liquor dispenser. Shultz died in 1871, and the house and shop passed on to the Turner family in the late 19th century.
By 1890, the elevation of the street in front of the Samuel Shultz House was raised to accommodate the streetcar system, resulting in the street being much higher than the adjacent sidewalk.
