North Tryon Street was formerly known as part of the major commercial corridor US N29 which ran through Charlotte, NC.  As automobiles and trucks became the principal means of transportation,  it was only logical that restaurants, such as the Millennium Restaurant became part of the streetscape.  The Millennium Restaurant  represents a style of commercial architecture that was particularly popular in the 1950s and 1960s.
