13.  Paragraph Briefly Summarizing Known History Of The Property:

Rozzelles Ferry Road  was once a major highway of Charlotte, NC and the US. Thus, automobiles and trucks became the principal means of transportation through this area.  Inevitably, with this abundance of heavy pass-through traffic, a surplus of commercial structures were rapidly developing along the then new interstate.  This structure was most likely originally a filling station where travelers would refresh their empty tanks while they stopped for a stretch from a long trip down NC 27.
