| The Robinson House. The
owner of the Robinson House has applied for a Certificate of
Appropriateness to demolish the Robinson
House on Steele Creek Road. State
Enabling Legislation requires that the Commission must issue the
Certificate but can delay its effective date for up to 365 days.
The Robinson House is a significant remnant of Mecklenburg County's
once extensive rural landscape. However, it takes on even greater
meaning when considered as part of a district of structures. Indeed,
in my judgment, this area is one of the two most important collections of
rural structures and spaces remaining in Mecklenburg County, the other
being the Croft area. The area bounded by Dixie River Road and the
new I-485 contains three historic landmarks -- the Byrum Store, the Byrum
House, and the Robinson House. There is also a distinctive
bungalow-style house in the immediate area. Click
