13.  Paragraph Briefly Summarizing Known History Of The Property:

Central Avenue was once a major commercial corridor of Charlotte, N.C. Thus, automobiles and trucks became the principal means of transportation through this area.  Because Commonwealth Avenue is located directly off of Central Avenue, it received a lot of pass-through traffic.  Also, until the 1990s, Independence Boulevard had curbside businesses.  Brodt's Music Company is believed to have originally been an office building and then a warehouse before it became a place of business from which to purchase musical instruments.
