Documentation of why and in what ways the property meets criteria for designation set forth in N. C. G. S. 160A-400.5: a. Special significance in terms of its history, architecture, and/or cultural importance: The Commission judges that the property known as the Pineville Commercial Block does possess special significance in terms of Charlotte- Mecklenburg. The Commission bases its judgment on the following considerations: 1. Park Avenue is a well defined and intact element of the Pineville Mill Village. 2. Park Avenue's wide divided street is the most significant element of the landscape plan developed for the village by noted Charlotte planner Earle Sumner Draper. 3. Park Avenue's one-story, frame T-plan mill houses have retained, in aggregate, a high degree of integrity, and the one-story, frame hip-roofed mill cottages with front and rear gable-roofed wings are unique in terms of the mill villages in Mecklenburg County. 4. In consideration of its intact houses and significant landscape features, Park Avenue possesses special significance as the most distinctive surviving element of the Pineville mill village. b. Integrity of design, setting, workmanship, materials, feeling and/or association: The Commission contends that the physical and architectural description which is included in this report demonstrates that Park Avenue meets this criterion. 9. Ad Valorem tax appraisal: The Commission is aware that designation would allow the owner to apply for an automatic deferral of 50% of the Ad Valorem taxes on all or any portion of the property which becomes a designated "historic landmark." 10. Portion of property recommended for designation: The exterior of the houses, the road and median, and the land delineated in the above map are recommended for historic designation. Date of preparation of this report: January 10, 2011 Prepared by: Stewart Gray Narrative Description Rick Mattson and Francis Alexander, edited by Stewart Gray Park Avenue is a well preserved block of eighteen mill houses situated along a wide street divided by a grassy median. Park Avenue is a component of the Pineville Mill Village, in Pineville, NC. The mill village was developed in two phases. Park Avenue was developed during the first phase which occurred with the opening of Dover Yarn Mills in 1894. The village is located south of Pineville's Main Street, and encompasses most of the south side of this small, Mecklenburg County railroad town as it existed into the mid-twentieth century. Park Avenue is roughly centered in the village. Immediately to the west of Park Avenue is the expansive, red-brick textile mill. Park Avenue is comprised of one-story, frame T-plan mill houses, and one-story, frame hip- roofed mill cottages with front and rear gable-roofed wings. Although the original house designs have been modified by later sidings, and replacement window sash and porch posts, the original forms remain remarkably unchanged, with only minor additions that are primarily to the rear. Most new construction consists of backyard storage sheds and garages that do not detract from the integrity of the houses. The roughly quarter-acre house lots are original and were laid out to accommodate gardens and sheds. Mature trees shade the streets and houses. Many were probably planted during the 1920s expansion and renovation of the mill village, when Chadwick-Hoskins commissioned planner Earle Sumner Draper to update the village. Others were planted over time by the residents. With its small variety of evenly distributed and intact house types, Park Ave well represents the distinctive architectural rhythm that sets the mill village apart from the rest of the town. The street runs east-west and is broader than the other streets in the village and features a unique, tree-lined median that was part of Draper’s plan. The mill houses along Park Avenue are some of the earliest dwellings in the village, and stand in contrast to the 1920s side-gable and hip-roofed bungalows in much of the rest of the village. Statement of Significance Park Avenue possesses special significance as a well defined and intact element of the Pineville Mill Village. The block's wide divided street is a distinct element of the landscape plan developed for the village by noted Charlotte planner Earle Sumner Draper. Park Avenue's one-story, frame T-plan mill houses have retained, in aggregate, a high degree of integrity, and the one-story, frame hip-roofed mill cottages with front and rear gable-roofed wings are unique in terms of the mill villages in Mecklenburg County. Portion of Earl Sumner Draper's plan for the "Village Development, Chadwick Hoskins Co." Parks Avenue as shown on survey of the mill property, ca. 1946 Historical Background Located eleven miles south of Charlotte near Little Sugar Creek, Pineville has its roots in a small community established here in the early nineteenth century The settlement was named Morrow’s Turnout for one of the area’s early white families. In 1869, the Charlotte, Columbia, and Augusta Railroad--created from the merger of the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad and the Columbia and Augusta Railroad--established a passenger and freight station at Morrow’s Turnout. In 1873 the community was incorporated as Pineville, according to local lore named for a nearby stand of pine trees. In 1894, the railroad became part of the vast Southern Railway system that integrated Pineville, Mecklenburg County, and the Piedmont into a national network of rail lines. This new connectivity would ultimately link Pineville to far-flung markets, and draw industries—especially cotton mills—to the town and the region (Blythe and Brockman 1961: 259-262, 417-422; Charlotte Observer 21 May 1967). Pineville was part of a great network of small railroad towns that emerged throughout region after the Civil War. Between the Civil War and 1900, new rail lines spurred the growth of over 200 towns in North Carolina. The majority of these rail towns were in the Piedmont, which by the early twentieth century was becoming the center of the nation’s textile industry. In Mecklenburg County, the towns of Pineville, Matthews, Huntersville, and Cornelius were founded along railroad lines in this period. (Tullos 1989: 135-140; Glass 1992: 57-58). In Mecklenburg County and throughout the Piedmont, railways tied the towns not just to each other and southern ports, but to northern markets and greater sources of building materials and finished goods. Railroads and advances in steam and electrical power transformed the industrial geography of the region. They liberated factories from traditional sites beside rivers and created surging industrial districts along railways near cities and towns. Trains opened the Appalachian coal fields and hauled into the Piedmont the fuel necessary for operating massive steam engines. By the 1900s, James Buchanan Duke’s Southern Power Company (now Duke Energy) was constructing a series of hydroelectric power plants along the Catawba River to supply nearby industries with inexpensive electricity. By 1900, six railroads were routed through the city of Charlotte, located near the center of Mecklenburg County. Charlotte enjoyed more rail connections than any other place between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, and became the hub of the Piedmont textile belt (Goldfield 1982: 86-90; Bishir 1990: 434-435). To many southerners, railroads promised industrialization. Civic leaders in Charlotte and other southern cities envisioned a new order based on textile production and urban growth to replace the agrarian society of the past.

  • Creative Uses for Repurposed Historic Textile Mills a Case Study of Revolution Textile Mill, Greensboro N.C
    Creative Uses for Repurposed Historic Textile Mills A Case Study of Revolution Textile Mill, Greensboro N.C by Emma Kathleen Schropp A Masters Project submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of City and Regional Planning in the Department of City and Regional Planning Chapel Hill April 3, 2014 Creative Uses for Repurposed Historic Mills: A Case Study of Revolution Textile Mill, Greensboro N.C i Acknowledgements In particular, I must thank Tony Sease, my fearless advisor, for his contributions and encouragement even as I was working down to the wire. His knowledge of and perspective on the field of preservation and redevelopment was invaluable in guiding my writing and pointing me to new resources when I felt I had exhausted everything. I am also grateful to Malcolm White and Jim Overton with Self-Help, and to Eddie Belk of Belk Architecture for providing personal insights and interviews. And to the many people who have offered assistance in documenting this project. ii Abstract While most scholars on the subject of North Carolina industrial history agree on the reasons for its rise and subsequent devastating decline, they offer little insight to the future of the mill buildings that remain as the industry’s physical legacy. Very few sources discuss viable uses for rehabilitating these structures, largely leaving this field to be determined by a market study. This paper explores the adaptive reuse approach of a former textile mill in Greensboro, N.C. The goal is to analyze the approach taken to reactivate the Mill as a meaningful campus within the larger context of the town, with specific regard to Greensboro’s textile history.

  • SUMMARY of NOTICE of INTENT to REDEVELOP a BROWNFIELDS PROPERTY Site Name: Granite Mill Brownfields Project Number: 21043-17-001
    SUMMARY OF NOTICE OF INTENT TO REDEVELOP A BROWNFIELDS PROPERTY Site Name: Granite Mill Brownfields Project Number: 21043-17-001 Pursuant to NCGS § 130A-310.34, Granite Mill, LLC, as Prospective Developer, has filed with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) a Notice of Intent to Redevelop a Brownfields Property (“Property”) in Alamance County, Haw River, North Carolina. The Brownfields Property comprises three parcels (Tax PIN 153168, 153156, and 171658) totaling about approximately 9.4 acres. The property was listed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 2017 due to the presence of a historic mill building dating back to 1844 on the property. The Prospective Developer is Granite Mill, LLC, which is 100% owned by Granite Mill Investments, LLC of Durham, NC. The Granite Mill was originally constructed by the Trollinger family as their Granite Cotton Factory on the Haw River in 1844. The Mill was a spinning and weaving operation which was referred to as the Granite Puritan Mills, Co., Mill No.1 in 1924. It became part of the Proximity Manufacturing Company between 1927 and in 1948, and by 1931 was known as the Granite Finishing Works. In 1948, the property became part of the Cone Mills Corporation and the operations were finishing corduroy fabric. In 1983 Cone Mills began dyeing and finishing operations for chamois and flat cloth through 1997. The plant was idle from 1997 through 2004, and in November 2004 Cone Mills sold the mill to the Haw River Business Center. The Granite Mill facilities have been used for warehousing and industrial storage from 2004, and are currently not occupied.

  • 1 Lake Jeanette Association, Inc. Known As the Master Homeowners
    Lake Jeanette Association, Inc. Known as the Master Homeowners Association History of the Lake Jeanette Development Caesar and Moses Cone were born in Jonesboro, Tennessee to Bavarian immigrant parents, Herman and Helen Kahn (Cone) – Moses on June 29, 1857 and Caesar on April 22, 1859. From there, the family moved to Baltimore, Maryland where the children were educated in public schools. Father Herman was the proprietor of a wholesale grocery business and made his sons co-partners in 1878. Moses and Caesar established the Cone Export and Commission Company in 1891 with headquarters in New York City. They convinced southern mill owners that marketing textiles was as important as manufacturing and persuaded ninety percent of them to contract with their company. In 1893 they moved their main office to Greensboro, NC. The brothers soon began acquiring land in Guilford County, particularly on the northeast side of Greensboro and in 1895 opened Proximity Mill, their first plant in the Gate City. The name was selected owing to the proximity of the mill to area cotton fields. In 1899 they opened Revolution Mill, then the world’s largest flannel mill. White Oak Mill, constructed between 1902 and 1905, was at the time the largest cotton mill in the South and the largest denim manufacturer in the world. As manufacturing progressed, they realized that their company needed more water than the City of Greensboro could supply. Thus, in 1940, the clearing and digging for the construction of Lake Jeanette began. The lake was named after Jeanette Cone, one of the granddaughters. Lake Jeanette is fed by Richland Creek and other springs, and has always been defined as a “working” lake.
