H. Lee Waters films of Durham, North Carolina, ca. 1937-1942 [MPF.86.1-5]
From the collections of the State Archives of North Carolina. This silent, black-and-white film contains footage shot by H. Lee Waters (1902-1997) of Durham, North Carolina in Durham County, ca. 1937-1942. The call number for this item is MPF.86.1-5.
Length: 74 minutes
Production Year: 1942

H. Lee Waters (1902-1997) operated a photography studio on Main Street in Lexington, North Carolina, for more than 60 years. For most of that time, his work covered the standard range of commercial still photography-weddings, portraits, school groups-but during the lean years of the late Depression Waters hit the road with a 16mm camera and projector and created Movies of Local People eventually accumulating a body of work depicting at least 118 communities primarily in North Carolina but also including nineteen places in South Carolina, nine in Virginia, and one in Tennessee. Waters' films reveal the comings and goings of everyday life on the streets of the towns he filmed-men, women, and children going in and out of stores, walking down the sidewalks, often smiling and waving at the camera but sometimes unaware of its presence. Often parades, festivities, and school children were featured. Waters developed a fluid and expressive style, and the films feature an often vivacious depiction of community life along with beautiful portraits and experimental special effects. His movies would be screened with feature films in the local theater for a modest fee, and they served as a marketing tool for the theater by enticing more people to come to the movies. These short silent films were a commercial and artistic success, and in the mill towns and the small cities of the Textile Belt, thousands of people saw themselves and their communities on the big screen. These films record ordinary and extraordinary people, businesses, and events at a pivotal time in small town southern America, and they often show individuals and places that would not have been documented on film in any other circumstance. Waters' films provide the only extant visual documentation of commercial enterprises and events in many instances.

Lexington is the county seat of Davidson County, North Carolina, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city had a total population of 18,978. It is located in central North Carolina, twenty miles (32 km) south of Winston-Salem. Major highways include I-85, I-85B, U.S. Route 29, U.S. Route 70, U.S. Route 52 (soon to be I-285) and U.S. Route 64. Lexington is part of the Piedmont Triad region of the state. Lexington, Thomasville, and the rural areas surrounding them are slowly developing as residential bedroom communities for nearby cities such as Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point.
History
The Lexington area was at least sparsely settled by Europeans in 1775. The settlers named their community in honor of Lexington, Massachusetts, the site of the first skirmish of the American Revolutionary War. Lexington was incorporated as a city in 1828. Silver Hill Mine, located a few miles south of Lexington, opened in 1838, and was the first operating silver mine in the country.
In the twentieth century until the late 1990s, Lexington's economy was mainly based on textile and furniture manufacturing. Since then, most local manufacturers have moved their production facilities to Asia and Mexico as a way to reduce costs and remain competitive in a global market. This caused the closure of most textile and furniture factories and has contributed to economic difficulties for a community that was heavily dependent on these two industries for employment.
The oldest surviving house in Lexington is The Homestead, built by Dr. William Rainey Holt (1798−1868), a physician born in what is today Alamance County. The Homestead has windows, sidelights and other Palladian details characteristic of the pattern books of architect Asher Benjamin. The home's owner was a Pennsylvania-trained physician who practiced medicine after relocating to Davidson County. An ardent Secessionist, Dr. Holt had three sons killed during military service for the Confederacy in the Civil War. His home was occupied by Union Army soldiers.
Following the War, Holt spent an increasing amount of time at his plantation Linwood, located southwest of Lexington, where he operated a scientific farm on his 1,600 acres (6.5 km2). As president of the North Carolina Agricultural Society, Holt was among the first to introduce purebred breeds of livestock to the state.
Lexington County Museum
Uniquely located on seven acres of land in the heart of Lexington, the Lexington County Museum offers history buffs and novices alike a chance to travel back in time. The Museum is situated as a complex that has thirty-six historic structures and furnishings that date back to the late 1700's.
