Paragraph Briefly Summarizing Known History Of The Property: As Charlotte's center city became increasingly populated, more restaurants, such as The Anderson's Family Restaurant, began to appear in the area. Many restaurants such as The Anderson's were owned by Greek families who had immigrated to the United States, and at first had taken jobs in restaurants as dishwashers, where they learned the recipes to "American dishes."
