Charlotte City Council will hold a public hearing on Sept. 27 for the designation of the Stafford-Holcombe Farm, located in eastern Mecklenburg County near the Cabarrus County border. The main house, constructed in the early 19th-century, still stands as do a variety of other buildings, including an early 19th-century log slave quarter-tenant house.
We believe that our designated landmarks should tell the broad story of Mecklenburg County and we hope you take some time to delve into the history of this property or any of our other prospective or designated properties.

We are glad to announce that on August 16th the William H. Peeps House (831 E. Worthington Avenue), the Ervin Building (4037 E. Independence Blvd), and the Larkwood-Chadbourn Hosiery Mill Plant (451 Jordan Place) were designated as local historic landmarks by the Charlotte City Council. These three properties represent a diversity of building ages and types.
At this same meeting, Charlotte City Council also amended the ordinances for the Edgewood Farm (11132 Eastfield Road), and the Victor Shaw House (2400 Mecklenburg Avenue) to allow for sensitive in-fill development projects that will preserve the historic homes.

It’s hard to believe but Labor Day is just a few short weeks away! If you’re staying in town that weekend, take the opportunity to visit historic Rural Hill, a designated landmark since 1987, for the 241st Anniversary of the Battle of Charlotte. Watch a reenactment of three Revolutionary War battles, including one which partially occurred at Rural Hill. Experience multiple interpretative demonstrations, including kids drills and artillery demonstrations. And make sure to spend some time getting lost in the Amazing Maize Maze.
