Fencing lots from a 1903 mill-village grid
North Charlotte's mill-worker housing, built starting in 1903 between North Davidson and North McDowell Streets, sat on tightly packed lots laid out for company housing rather than long-term individual ownership. Those original mill-era boundaries have been re-platted and resold many times since the district's 1990s revival as NoDa.
Why a fence project should confirm the boundary first
A lot that started as part of a 1903 mill-village grid has usually changed hands and been resurveyed more than once, so an old fence line or an assumed boundary isn't reliable evidence of the real property corner. A current survey settles it before a new fence goes in.
