Fourth
Ward

 “The
uptown neighborhood that is a delectable treat when savored on foot is called Fourth
Ward.
It is one of the early governmental quadrants of that small nineteenth-century town called
Charlotte.
 Beginning at The Square (Trade and
Tryon Streets intersection) and extending north and west, the area has beautiful churches,
quaint and elegant frame Victorian houses, restaurants and a village pub/café on narrow,
hospitable lanes. Mixed in with fine old apartment houses are modern attractions such as
Discovery Place, the courtyard art of TransAmerica Square, and the leisurely quiet of the
city’s oldest cemetery, called Old Settlers. Houses built in the late 1800s and
lovingly protected or moved and restored, mark the city’s first major historic
neighborhood preservation effort beginning in the 1970s.
