6. Staff Report
A. Funding of Designation Reports
I. Plans to Fund the Conner-Falls House, 122 Mock Road, Davidson
One of the best-preserved historic houses in the African American Mock Hill neighborhood. The Town of Davidson will match the funding for this report.
Conner-Falls House
Staff is reaching out to the owners of the Tudor Style Houses at 858 and 838 Concord Road in Davidson, to determine if they would support landmark designation. These houses contribute to the Davidson National Register District, and determine the easternmost boundary of the district. A similar Tudor Style House between them was demolished recently. Preservation of 858 and 838 Concord Road would help preserve the integrity of the historic district. The Town of Davidson would match funding for these properties.

III. Rogers McConnell House, 119 Gilead Rd, Huntersville
The house is architecturally significant as a rare pressed-block construction, unique in North Mecklenburg. Prominently located on Gilead Road near the center of the town, the long-term survival of the property is threaten by potential new development in the fast-growing area.

B. Report on History of Women Architects in Charlotte
Staff believes that it would be important for us to produce a brief history of women’s involvement in architecture in Charlotte. Tommy Warlick has begun interviewing some sources and we anticipate that a consultant will be contracted to produce the report.
Here is a brief essay on important women architects in NC from NCModernist: Pioneering Women Architects in North Carolina
