Popular Post tarhoosier Posted October 23, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I learned here: http://www.hpo.ncdcr.gov/nr/MK0012.pdf That the current courthouse was built in 1915 and was one third of the existing building. It adjoined the US Mint which was the building where the remainder of the Federal Building is now. Once the Mint was dismantled and moved the Federal Building was extended and the axis changed so the entry was on West Trade rather than Mint. I used the Post office in that building in the years of my relative youth and it was accessed through the Mint side. Christmas and Tax Day there were many cars and customers waiting to be served. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! great memories of sitting in the car waiting on my dad to get the mail while watching the antics across the street at that old hotel. But, also, I miss all the brass and the smell of that old post office. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I’m anxious to see how or whether the architecture compensates for our lack of historic stock of appreciable height. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyCarton Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 This is going to be beautiful. I'd like to see a Robert A.M. Stern hotel and condo in Charlotte some day. Something like 220 Central Park South would be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KJHburg Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Walk by photos of the site today. Lots of workers on site. Question: Is the US Attorney office moving over here or will they stay over at the Carillon? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarhoosier Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I think the Carillon office people hope they move to this new building. I know someone who worked in Carillon after the twin towers attack and the US Attorney office in Carillon was considered a target, and EVERYone entering the building and elevators went through TSA type shakedown. The office my man worked in moved due to the security issues. I know not if that is still the practice in that building. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgsinger Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 It is definitely not the practice any more. I worked there as far back as 2007 and there was no security until after you got on the elevators. I was in there a few weeks ago, and it was the same thing. Only select floors require an access in the elevator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
