“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.”
