A state historic marker stands amidst new development in the first block of West Trade St. It marks the location of the Mecklenburg Iron Works which was leased to the Confederate Navy during the Civil War by the owner, John Wilkes. After the war, Wilkes regained ownership and operated the factory there until he sold the building to the railroad and moved operations to West Trade Street.
Located in the 400 block of North College Street, this series of buildings was a former automobile service station and paint store. Since the mid 1990s, it has been a restaurant and bar. This shows the original bricks getting a coat of paint.
