Mallard Creek School
Click here to read the Survey and Research Report. Mallard Creek Presbyterian Church requested that the Commission postpone a decision on the prospective designation of the Mallard Creek School as a historic landmark, so that staff might have an opportunity to meet with the Session of the church. I did so, and the Session continues to oppose designation. The Commission must consider whether it wishes to recommend designation and attempt to gain the agreement of the Charlotte City Council for that designation. Staff Recommendation: Do not move ahead with the designation process as this time, as the building does not appear to be endangered. b. Elmwood Cemetery
As anticipated, staff has received a letter from the City of Charlotte requesting that the Commission's consideration of historic landmark designation of Elmwood Cemetery be delayed until next Summer, so that the plans of the State Department of Transportation with respect to right-of-way for the new railroad station can be clarified. Again, the Commission must consider whether it wishes to recommend designation and attempt to gain the agreement of the Charlotte City Council for that designation. Click here to read Survey and Research Report. Staff Recommendation: Abide by the City's wishes. There is little chance that the City Council would designate the property over the City staff's objections. c. Carolina Transfer and Storage Building

Sumner, a former student at UNCC and a staff historian at the Levine Museum of the New South, to prepare a Survey and Research Report on the original hangar at Douglas Airport at a fee of less than $1200.

The Commission has completed its survey of Industrial, Institutional, and Educational sites in Charlotte-Mecklenburg. This will result in the placing of these sites on the Study List for the National Register of Historic Places, thereby affording them greater protection and greater opportunity for rehabilitation. Sherry Joines Wyatt, one of the Principal Investigators, will present the findings of the Survey. Click here to read the final report of the Survey.
