NoDa Real Estate History and Heritage

The NoDa Real Estate area flourished from 1903 to 1975 with the North Carolina Textile Industry. It was a self-contained village in the North Charlotte areas being surrounded by farms and fields. Over 200 mill homes were built in this area. It includes a commercial district and even held a pharmacy in 1905. Other early commercial businesses in the village included a barbershop, drug store, doctor’s office, and grocery stores. Later, even a movie theater was built within the village.

With the mill closing, young artists brought in a vision for creating a new art community in Charlotte here in the 1980’s. Paul Sires and Ruth Ava Lyons bought and renovated one of the Mill buildings as well as several other stores and a mill house. The North Davidson Street village area was becoming the NoDa artists’ community. It was a community revitalized and restored. Along with the new community is a sense of culture and nostalgia as the new meets the old every day.
